Profile: https://flows.cv/nicolealfon

I’m a strategic People Partner with 10+ years of experience driving transformation, growth, and scale at high-growth and global tech companies including Notion, Slack, and Twilio. My background spans org design, talent development, performance management, M&A integration, and workforce strategy.

I thrive in environments that are scaling fast or evolving out of legacy systems, especially when the path forward isn’t yet defined. My approach blends strategic clarity with product thinking: I build programs and infrastructure that are scalable, data-informed, and grounded in business impact. Lately, I’ve been especially focused on how emerging technologies - particularly AI and agents - can reshape how we approach HR.

I’ve led through complex org changes, partnered directly with founders and C-level leaders, and built systems that help high-performing teams scale without losing their soul. I’m energized by work that requires both heart and rigor, and by teams that value curiosity, velocity, and high standards.
