"Austhin provides excellent strategic and operational HR advisory. His 'outside-of-the-box' suggestions consistently challenge the status quo and provide valuable food for thought. He is a natural problem-solver and a pleasure to work with."
Katrina Rojas
Senior Consultant & Owner · Universalia Management Group
"Austhin develops custom, practical tools that support daily operations while providing a fresh perspective on coaching. Having partnered with him on several HR mandates, I highly recommend his services."
Mélissa Robitaille
President & CEO · Syscomax

Kevin Donovan

Michel A. Salmon, CRHA

"Austhin deployed an effective HR infrastructure that matched our rapid scaling. He leveraged his deep expertise with SMBs to ensure our systems were both robust and adaptable during a critical growth phase."
Martin Ruel
CEO · Targe Risk Management
"We went from HR chaos to a fully functioning people operation in under a year. Austhin saved us over $110K, hired our first HR director, and left us with systems that actually scale. Best investment we made towards the Series A stage."
Founder, SaaS. North America.
"Austhin helps us through the most critical stage of our journey — building the people foundation of the company from scratch. He understood what a robotics startup needs to move fast: the right structure, the right hires, the right systems. He built for velocity."
David B.
CEO · Robotics Company
"What sets Austhin apart is his lived global experience. Running operations between North America and Africa means navigating very different business cultures, labour realities, and leadership expectations. Austhin got it immediately — no lengthy explanations needed. He brought cross-cultural intelligence that most HR consultants simply don't have."
Stéphane G.
CEO · Import-Export · North America & Africa
"Austhin guided us through a complex transformation and change management process across multiple jurisdictions. His ability to align people, structure and process simultaneously — while keeping the team engaged — was exactly what our business unit needed."
