Kyla Pavlina

I’m a transformational CPO / CHRO with proven success leading global enterprises through large-scale change, including IPOs, multimillion-dollar acquisitions, strategic divestitures, and hypergrowth, global scaling at up to 20x in less than 12 months. At the intersection of talent cost, risk, and ROI, I develop and execute compelling strategies that champion both the corporate mission and the corporation’s greatest asset – it’s people. My expertise includes: Strategic People Leadership | Organizational Development & Restructuring | Culture Building | Talent Management | Employee Engagement | Board Relations | Compensation & Governance As a trusted advisor to CEOs and executive leadership teams (ELTs), I’ve stabilized leadership teams, developed future leaders, and built high-performing, values-driven cultures in founder-led, PE-backed, and IPO organizations. Some highlights of my leadership include: ► Restructured Scipher Medicine’s ELT and organization, enabling the business to pivot to therapeutics. ► Launched scalable people systems to take Hyperfine public within an aggressive schedule. ► Drove Mesa Biotech’s explosive growth to 1,700 employees and a successful sale to Thermo Fisher Scientific. ► Built the systems, analytics, and culture to scale CrossFit’s workforce to 5K employees in 8 countries.
