The Onion Team

In today's workplace, adaptability and versatility in team structures have become pre-requisite. Onion adopts a unique operational model that capitalises on a group of exceptional individuals known as Associates. This network consists of highly skilled and driven experts, each possessing extensive expertise and experience in their respective domains.

 

By adopting this approach, we empower our clients to tap into the capabilities of highly talented specialists who would typically be financially out of reach. These specialists are able to offer valuable strategies and solutions to address our clients' challenges. Additionally, our model allows organisations to augment their existing teams for specific initiatives or projects, eliminating the need for the long-term financial commitments associated with direct hiring.

Kirsten has a background as CPO/CHRO in start-up and scale-up tech businesses, and senior HR leadership in professional services organisations.  She operates as a Fractional CPO, defining compelling People and Culture strategies aligned to business objectives.
