About AvalonLane

You shouldn't have to wait until you're bigger.

I've built HR functions from the ground up. I've been in management committee conversations about culture, founder calls about a difficult termination, leadership team sessions trying to figure out why things keep breaking. That experience doesn't usually reach companies your size because it comes attached to a full-time executive salary you're not ready for yet.

AvalonLane is how I made it available anyway.

Who I Am

Mary Rose Wild

I'm a senior HR executive. I've built HR functions from the ground up in global organizations, walked alongside leadership teams through significant change, and been the person founders call when something has gone wrong — or when they want to make sure it doesn't.

I founded AvalonLane Partners because that experience has always been reserved for companies big enough to afford a full-time Chief HR Officer. Most small and medium businesses aren't that size — yet.

How I Work

What you can expect.

I work embedded, not at arm’s length.

That means I’m in your leadership conversations, I know your team, and I’m making decisions with you — not sending you a report about them.

I’m direct.

If there’s a compliance gap, I’ll tell you plainly. If a people decision is creating more risk than you realize, you’ll hear it clearly. If something you’re doing is working, I’ll say that too.

I build things that last.

Every policy, every process, every conversation we have together is designed to make your organization more capable — not more dependent on outside help. When we’re done, your HR infrastructure is stronger, your managers are more confident, and your team is ready for whatever comes next — including a full-time HR hire, when the time is right.

Backed by a network.

I’ve built a network of vetted senior HR professionals who extend capacity when engagements require it. The work scales. The quality doesn’t change.
