Elena McCarry
I’ve seen how the right systems, thoughtful strategies, and focus on people can transform an organization from the ground up. My career began in behavioral health, where I quickly learned that policies and processes aren’t just boxes to check—they’re tools to make a real impact. Moving into HR wasn’t just a career shift; it was about ensuring every policy and process genuinely supported the people behind the work.
I had the unique experience of being part of a small hospital’s transformation into a full healthcare system. We built everything from scratch: policies, onboarding, support systems—each piece designed to sustain people-centered growth. Working side-by-side with leaders driven by meaningful, people-focused goals, I gained invaluable insight into building frameworks that truly support the people who make the work possible.
Since then, I’ve partnered with founders, solopreneurs, and small business owners to build systems that grow with them and reflect their values. My clients want a partner who can think big, dive into the details, and build something real.
Over the years, I have:
Built and led operations and team functions for startups and small businesses, creating frameworks that support culture and sustainable growth
Designed and implemented strategic initiatives to drive performance, strengthen teams, and support long-term goals
Developed talent acquisition and engagement programs focused on retention, performance, and fostering a values-driven culture
Streamlined operational workflows with systems that boost efficiency, ensure compliance and prepare for scalability
Established policies and processes that meet regulatory standards while reinforcing best practices across daily operations
Working together isn’t just about getting things done; it’s about building a strong foundation that aligns with your team and goals. If you’re looking for a partner who listens, clarifies your vision, and builds systems that are an authentic extension of your business, let’s connect.
