Maria Rocha

People & Culture Advisor | Fractional HR | HR Reset & Career Support

Advisory conversations and organizational guidance for individuals and teams navigating people challenges, culture questions and transitions.
I bring 15 years of HR experience across tech, startups and scale-ups, progressing into senior leadership roles. My background combines a BA in Sociology of Work (Management & Personnel Planning), a Postgraduate Program in Adult Mental Health, and certified trainer credentials.
Through Workplace Wellbeing Lab, I support:
• Individuals and HR professionals navigating career transitions and clarity (Career Journey & Career Support)
• HR professionals and leaders seeking structured external reflection and advisory (HR Reset)
• Organizations looking for ongoing People & Culture thought partnership
My work sits at the intersection of strategy and humanity. I provide non-clinical HR advisory focused on organizational clarity, communication, boundaries and navigating complexity in high-pressure environments.
Confidential. Grounded. Human.
Open to interim and fractional People & Culture roles with remote-first teams.
