Hi FRCTNL Community đź‘‹
I’m Ashley, founder of The Sunbeam Studio.
I work with growing companies as a fractional People Operations partner, helping leadership teams bring clarity to how their organizations actually run as they scale.
Most of the teams I support are in that “messy middle” stage. The team is growing, the work is getting heavier, and the systems that once worked are starting to break down.
That’s where I tend to come in.
My work typically focuses on:
• Building People Ops foundations and scalable systems
• Supporting leadership through org design, hiring strategy, and team structure
• Strengthening employee experience, performance practices, and internal clarity
• Bringing structure to distributed or global teams without losing the human side

I’ve spent the last few years working closely with founders and operators across tech and consulting environments, often stepping in as their first or most senior People partner.
Right now, I’m especially interested in:
• Growth-stage companies building out their People function
• Teams navigating scale, change, or operational growing pains
• Fractional or advisory partnerships where I can work closely with leadership

If you’re building something and feeling that shift from early momentum to needing more structure, I’m always happy to connect.
Also always up for meeting others in the fractional space!Â
