Oakstreet

Oakstreet provides Interim HR Leadership across Australia and Asia, placing senior People and Culture leadership into organisations facing a leadership gap, restructuring, or a strategic inflection point.

• Engagements are led hands-on by the practitioner, who steps into the HR, People and Culture, or transformation seat, with specialist capability drawn in through Oakstreet’s network where it adds value.
• Offered as interim (full-time for a defined period), fractional (part-time, ongoing or agenda-focused), or project and program leadership of a specific transformation milestone.
• In a published spotlight case, Oakstreet built the People function for a global asset management company expanding across the Asia Pacific region, supporting 6x headcount growth and 40 percent growth in assets under management.

Best for: a CEO, board or private equity sponsor needing an experienced HR or People and Culture leader to hold the seat and drive delivery through a transition, without a permanent hire.
