What if HR wasn’t just about policies—but about building better companies from the inside out? In this episode of From the Desk with Jada Montemarano, Jada speaks with Kristina Karcic, a veteran HR business advisor with over 20 years of experience guiding high-growth startups and global enterprises. Kristina shares how her early career in the .com era shaped her people-first philosophy, and why she believes the key to sustainable success lies in intentional strategy, inclusive culture, and visionary leadership. Together, they explore how to go beyond reactive HR and start designing workplaces that scale thoughtfully and humanely. From spotting early red flags in company culture to designing reward systems that actually drive performance, Kristina offers a blueprint for founders and people leaders looking to build with purpose. This episode is a masterclass in HR as a business accelerator—not a cost center. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
