Fractional HR leadership and consulting for growing companies. Backed by 20 years of in-house HR experience, I bring strategic guidance, practical solutions, and hands-on execution without the commitment of a full-time hire.
From day-to-day operations to long-term people strategy. Choose a single project or ongoing support.
Most growing companies are in one of two situations: they have no HR support, or they can't yet justify a full-time HR hire. Fractional HR is a third option. You get senior-level expertise at the level your company needs right now.
Compliance gaps often go unnoticed until they become costly. Managers handle employee issues on their own, and little is documented until something goes wrong.
Strategic guidance and hands-on execution without the cost of a full-time salary and benefits package. Support scales up or down as your company grows or your needs change.
Often a six-figure salary before benefits, committed before you know how much HR support you need or where you need the most depth.
I’m Dorothy Cugliari, founder of PresentHR Partners. I bring 20 years of progressive HR experience, including leading global people operations and partnering with leadership teams at growing organizations across enterprise technology and ed-tech.
I've spent my career building HR infrastructure, navigating complex people challenges, coaching managers, and supporting leadership through growth and change. Now I bring that experience to businesses that need senior-level HR expertise without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.
Based in New York, I work in person across Long Island and NYC and remotely with clients across the U.S. and internationally.
My approach is collaborative, pragmatic, and flexible. I help leaders see the bigger picture, develop practical solutions, and then roll up my sleeves to put them into action. Whether it’s ongoing fractional leadership, a focused project, or targeted advisory support, the goal is the same: HR that is strategic enough to move the business forward and practical enough to work in the real world.
HR support isn't one-size-fits-all. Whether we work together in person across Long Island and NYC or remotely, there are three ways to engage: ongoing partnership, focused projects, or targeted advisory support.
Ongoing, embedded support. Your HR function, without a full-time hire.
Handbook builds, HRIS rollouts, and compliance audits. Defined scope and a defined end date.
Targeted on-call guidance for specific questions, decisions, or employee situations.
Whether you need interim leadership, help with a compliance issue, or a full people strategy, let's talk about what your team needs and how we can help.
