About Max
I make HR actually work in growing companies. Lean systems, clean processes, reliable data, and teams that collaborate again.
Sitting at the intersection of people & tech. Implementation Consultant, but holistic. HRBP, but tech-driven, Project Manager, but hands-on. That crossing is where I add the most value - especially in growth and transformation, where things tend to get lost between people and systems.
WHAT I DO
→ Automation & enablement: lean processes, no-/low-code automation, empowering internal teams to help themselves. Payroll, absence/attendance management, document flows, etc. - you name it.
→ Collaboration & trust: I listen, build trust and get teams working together, during project & beyond.
→ People tech & data: HRIS setup, migration and data quality, reporting & analytics. I'm not the enterprise implementer you hire to build an over-complex, consultant-heavy tech monolith; I build systems your team actually understands and runs in-house.
WHO I WORK WITH
Startups, scale-ups & established SMEs in moments of growth, change or HR transformation.
