Who we serve
Built for sponsor-backed companies with 50 to 500 people.
You have institutional owners, a value creation plan, and a board that expects people decisions to show up in the numbers.
That is the work we do.
For CEOs
If you are the CEO.
Three signs you are past the gap
- You are making CPO-level decisions at 10pm, between everything else.
- Your HR lead is excellent at operations and out of depth on strategy.
- The board asked a people question you could not answer with data.
What changes with ScalePath
- One person owns the people plan, and it is not you.
- Comp, org design, and succession get decided with numbers, not instinct.
- The board pack has a people page you are happy to present.
For sponsors and boards
If you are the sponsor.
First 100 days post-close
Before the people plan sets by default and the integration deadline starts slipping.
A leadership transition
A departing CEO, a new CFO, or a functional leader who is not going to scale with the plan.
Twelve to twenty-four months before exit
When leadership depth, comp structure, and succession need to be answerable in diligence.
What you get
- An independent assessment you can act on, not a vendor pitch.
- A fractional leader who reports the way you expect.
- A monthly scorecard that reads like the rest of the board pack.
We speak the language you already use: value creation plan, hold period, diligence, operating partner.
Refer a portfolio company
One business day to a view on whether this is a Diagnostic, a retainer, or a search.

The playbook transfers. The judgment is what you are buying.
When we are not the right call.
Under 30 employees.
A fractional HR generalist or a strong operations hire will serve you better.
Looking for payroll and benefits administration.
A PEO or an outsourced HR provider is the right call.
Need a full-time onsite HR generalist.
Hire the role. We can help define it and hand it over.
Buying HR by the hour.
Every ScalePath engagement is a fixed scope with named deliverables.
Thirty minutes. No pitch.
