Built for What's Next.
Senior People and operations leadership — without the full-time overhead. CAG embeds directly into your business, building the execution infrastructure, leadership alignment, and organizational structure that drive results in fast-moving environments.
The CAG Approach
Most growing companies can't justify a $300K CHRO — but they absolutely need one. Caraballo Advisory Group embeds senior People and operations leadership directly into your business, operating as a strategic partner who translates people strategy into execution.
With nearly 20 years across PE-backed, growth-stage, and multi-entity environments, Amber Caraballo operates at the intersection of people, systems, and business performance. She drives not just people strategy, but operational excellence — building the execution infrastructure, accountability systems, and organizational rhythm that allow leadership teams to scale without breaking.
Growth that has outpaced structure needs clarity first. We assess what's breaking before adding anything new — finding the 20% of changes that drive 80% of the impact.
Every engagement is tied to business outcomes — revenue, retention, productivity, and speed. People strategy that can't be measured doesn't belong in the plan.
CAG builds operating models, accountability systems, and leadership behaviors that reduce founder dependency and enable growth without unnecessary cost or complexity.
Core Services
From operating model transformation to M&A integration, CAG delivers the full spectrum of fractional People and operations leadership — scoped and sequenced to your stage, your pressure, and your priorities.
Runway OS
The biggest risk of a growing business isn't lack of effort — it's lack of a consistent operating rhythm. Teams start running on different cadences, priorities and culture drift, and issues surface too late or not at all.
Without a shared rhythm and language, execution becomes reactive and fragmented. Runway OS changes that.
Learn More About Runway OSWeekly, monthly, and quarterly operating rhythms that force clarity on priorities and keep every team running on the same heartbeat.
Structured check-ins and escalation paths that surface blockers early — before they become crises — and keep decisions moving at the speed of the business.
Everyone knows the behaviors required for success. Leadership alignment is built into the rhythm, not left to chance or annual reviews.
Work stays aligned as the organization grows. Runway OS ensures your operating model scales with you — without adding management layers or losing speed.
Who We Serve
Portfolio companies executing acquisition strategies, value creation plans, or operational transformations where People and HR infrastructure must move at deal speed — not HR speed.
Companies in the $20M–$100M range that need a senior People leader in the seat — or a transformation partner working alongside the existing team on initiatives that require more capacity or deeper expertise than they currently have.
Established businesses in the $100M–$300M range navigating leadership transitions, M&A integration, or People function modernization that needs senior leadership — not a consultant with a deck.
