> Senior People Leader | HR Strategy & Execution

Location: Novato, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/kaitlyndeluna

I partner with leaders to build high-performing, resilient teams and scalable people practices that drive business results.

With over 10 years of experience as an HR Business Partner, People manager, and certified coach, I have supported executives and teams through growth, change, and complexity by translating business strategy into practical, people-centered solutions across talent management, organizational design, performance, compliance, and employee relations.

My experience includes designing and scaling performance management and talent development programs, advising leaders through complex employee relations and organizational challenges, supporting organizational design and workforce planning during periods of growth and change, and partnering cross-functionally to align compensation, engagement, and retention strategies with business goals. I am known for being a trusted thought partner and steady operator, bringing a pragmatic, business-first approach while maintaining a strong focus on employee experience and leadership effectiveness.

I am particularly interested in roles where I can partner closely with senior leadership, lead or mentor People team members, build and scale foundational People programs, and drive clarity, accountability, and strong team health.
