Gabi & her team literally hit the ground running at a time of high growth. In one meeting they understood our culture & what we are building. Their experience and flexible way of working added so much value. Couldn't recommend their team more.

Emerging Engines' Kathryn and Gabi were fantastic partners in creating our new performance review process. They didn't just offer a one-size-fits-all solution, but truly understood our business to design a robust, equitable framework tailored to our culture. Their diligence and collaborative approach ensured a successful outcome. We highly recommend them

Working with Emerging Engines has delivered more than I expected and to my surprise - been way more enjoyable. Gabi and the team are great people, who know their stuff, are expert communicators and follow through on what we discuss and agree to. There's no HR jargon or fluff - just solid and logical discussions that challenged us to look at our business in a critical way. The discussions, work and experience from Gabi has driven us to improve our org structure and confidently move into an improved high performance culture.

Gabrielle was such a huge help. She was highly responsive despite my being in a different time zone. She also understood our business needs based on company size and stage so well.

Your team has leaned right in to become an extension of ours with the mix of tough love and local expertise we needed.

Gabi was engaging, insightful and ran a workshop that the team spoke about long into the night and continue to talk about today. Her personality is infectious and perfectly suited to getting a group to talk through uncomfortable subjects. She can uncover the elephant in the room and isn't afraid to address it head on. We came out of 2 hours with Gabi having covered an enormous amount and as a more cohesive and productive team.

We used Gabrielle to implement a strategic growth plan in order to bring structure and stability to our company as we continue to grow. Her knowledge around staff positioning was invaluable and the steps she has outlined around future staff and growth platforms has bought a lot of clarity to what we are trying to achieve.

Emerging Engines has saved Levno 80% year on year, costs associated with transactional HR tasks, by identifying process inefficiencies and an opportunity to realign organisational structure to suit the stage and scale of business.

Gabi and her team get tech, they get the startup and scale-up hustle, and they certainly get the concept of the need for a high performing team. I’ve loved every minute of working with this team, they are so quick to react and nothing is too difficult. There are so many balls to juggle when owning a business, and our people are one of the biggest investments we’ve made into our business, so we need to get it right and ensure we do right by our team. The past few months working with Emerging Engines has been a godsend for me as I know I can trust in the results and process that we now have in place. For me, knowing that this function of our business is taken care of by people who know what they’re doing, frees up so much more of my time to focus on the other balls in the air!
