For CEOs, founders and owners
Build an organisation that can keep up with your growth.
When companies grow, structure, leadership and people don't always keep pace. I help growing companies with HR, leadership and organisational development, so the organisation can evolve in step with the business.
Positioning
Strategic HR and organisational development partner for growing companies.
Growing companies often outgrow the way they're organised. I help you build an organisation that can carry the next stage of growth.
I primarily work with companies on Zealand and also partner with companies on Funen and in Jutland on larger development engagements.
What I solve
Growth creates complexity. I make it manageable.
I see the same patterns in growing companies over and over. Do you recognise them?
- Unclear roles and overlapping accountability
- Missing structure that keeps up with growth
- Inconsistent leadership practice across teams
- Onboarding that doesn't retain new hires
- Difficulty attracting and keeping the right people
- A leadership foundation that isn't built to scale
Services
How we build the organisation together
The services fit together — from the External HR Partner role and organisational development at the top, through leadership development and strategic HR advisory, to onboarding, roles and accountability, people development, and recruitment as an entry point into a longer strategic collaboration.
External HR Partner
The HR partner your leadership team has been missing.
Organisational Development
Structure, accountability and clarity — built to scale.
Leadership Sparring
Stronger leaders. Stronger company.
HR Advisory
Strategic HR sparring that moves the business forward.
Onboarding
The first 90 days decide everything else.
Roles & Responsibilities
Clarity is the first step toward accountability.
People Development & Wellbeing
Companies thrive when people do.
Recruitment
I'm not a recruitment agency or headhunter. I help you make better hiring decisions.
Why UPRIGHT
A partner for those who carry both the people and the business.
I work directly with CEOs, founders and owners — strategic sparring and a hands-on partner who translates growth ambition into leadership, structure and people practices that can scale.
Business-close
We understand numbers, growth and pressure — not just HR theory.
Hands-on
We work inside the organisation and help with execution, not just strategy.
Strategic
We prioritise what moves the business — and push back on what doesn't.
One dedicated advisor
You get the same advisor throughout — continuity, trust and a relationship where I know you well enough to cut straight to the point.
How I work
Three steps. Close to you.
Clarify
We understand your business, growth and what's pressing day-to-day.
Prioritise
We pick the few moves that matter most — and sequence them.
Implement
We work hands-on until it's anchored in leadership and daily work.
Collaborations

Selected collaborations
From our very first meeting, Gabi demonstrated strong professional expertise, a high level of professionalism and an impressive ability to quickly understand our company, our culture and the challenges we were facing.
Through a focused and practical approach, Gabi has helped us strengthen our leadership foundation, develop our HR processes and create greater structure in the organisation.
Gabi combines strategic understanding with a down-to-earth and engaged approach that creates trust and support among both leadership and employees.
We can warmly recommend Gabi to companies looking for a competent sparring partner within HR, leadership and organisational development.
