Meet Your Next HR Business Partner
I’m Rachel Taylor Alegria, the founder of TaylorMade HR. I’ve been called the most real, non-HR-ey person in HR. I’m a straight shooter who gives real advice without the corporate jargon or HR fluff. After yet another layoff in 2023, I decided it was time to stop building other people’s dreams and start my own. TaylorMade HR was born from that moment, with a simple goal to make HR smarter, simpler, and more human.
I’ve spent over 20 years leading People Operations and HR Strategy across startups, high-growth ventures, multi-site service providers, and global Fortune 500 companies. Along the way, I’ve helped transform a Target-acquired tech startup, a commercial installation firm, and a national beauty education company.
My work is hands-on, people-first, and focused on creating systems that actually work. I’m known for cutting through the noise, simplifying complex issues, and building trust quickly. I’m a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR and PHR-CA) and based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
