Who am I? *
I’m Nicci Arsenault — a people and culture leader with a deep track record of helping startups scale with intention. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve grown companies like Facebook, GitHub, Cribl, and multiple VC-backed startups through explosive growth, M&A, and international expansion.
But here’s the real throughline: I build the systems, practices, and leadership teams that make growth human — not just fast.
From pre-IPO scaling to post-acquisition integration, I’ve led People strategy at every stage — designing everything from global job architecture to performance frameworks and talent branding. Along the way, I’ve helped companies decrease attrition, boost hiring efficiency, and navigate the messy middle of change with clarity and care.
Today, I partner with founders and executive teams as a consultant, speaker, and fractional people leader. Together, we root into values, rise into vision, and build cultures that can carry the weight of real ambition.
