Krista Lane is a People Ops founder and practitioner with nine years of experience helping startups and growing companies build hiring, performance, and people systems that align strategy with values. As Founder & Principal Consultant at Headwaters HR and Producer/Co-host of the HR Peep Show, she blends hands-on operational fixes—like job design and hiring team enablement—with systemic discovery to address root causes, not just symptoms. She’s led recruiting training programs, run fellowship cohorts for career-transitioning recruiters, and co-created open resources for layoff support, evidencing a commitment to equitable transitions. Based in San Francisco and trained in both rhetoric/theater and full-stack development, she brings a communicator’s clarity and a builder’s problem-solving lens to HR challenges. Colleagues describe her as strategic, relentlessly curious, and refreshingly willing to “restrategize” until outcomes stick.
