Hey, I'm Paula!
I help business leaders make better HR decisions faster. As the founder of ProSonder Solutions, LLC, I partner with my clients to spark high performance in an engaged, inclusive employee culture built to navigate the changing workplace.
​
As an HR executive and consultant, I have spearheaded the expansion and refinement of HR functions in high-growth companies, seamlessly integrated M&A transactions, cultivated award-winning workplace cultures, and supported diverse teams across multiple continents including Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
​
Now, I am proud to serve a diverse portfolio of clients across different stages of their business life cycle, including start-ups, private equity-owned, family businesses, and high-growth companies in industries such as technology, software, aerospace, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, academia, and non-profit.
My work is enriched by over 20 years of experience in HR leadership, operations, and compliance, rooted in my early career as an employment attorney. There, I honed my problem-solving skills collaborating with business leaders on complex issues.
I Do This Work Because...
... a better workplace creates a better world.
People who are treated fairly, appreciated, and respected for who they are will transform their businesses, communities, and families.
