Daniela Strazza

I help startups and growing companies build strong People foundations that scale.

With 15+ years of experience in HR, Talent Acquisition, and leadership development, I partner with founders and leadership teams to design practical, data-driven people strategies that support business growth. My approach is simple: HR should never be “fluffy” - it should be a true business partner that drives measurable impact.

Throughout my career I have built and scaled HR and Talent functions across startups and large organizations, including:

• Designing accelerated leadership programs and developing 50+ future leaders

• Building high-performing Talent Acquisition teams that reduced time-to-hire by 50%

• Hiring 120 tech roles per quarter with a tribalized recruiting model

• Scaling a Series A startup from 30 -> 170 employees in 18 months

• Creating performance management, compensation frameworks, and company values with leadership teams

Today, through Breakthroux, I support founders and companies that are not yet ready for a full-time Head of People but need experienced guidance to build the right foundations.

Typical projects include:

• HR foundations and People strategy

• Talent acquisition and recruiting optimization

• Performance management frameworks

• Compensation philosophy and leveling

• Leadership development and culture design
