Meet the Founder: Natalie Loop
Hi, I’m Natalie—a Fractional Chief People Officer for tech startups and small businesses who want to grow without losing their soul. I help founders build caring, loyal, people-first cultures where employees feel supported, seen, and safe to stay—especially when the pressure’s on.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked both on the ground and high level, building HR strategies that actually scale—not just check boxes—leading people and talent teams at scale-ups and global firms alike.
I’m also a startup mentor and HRE Advisor with Quebec tech, La Base entrepreunariale HEC, Next AI and Fintech Cadence, focused on passionate founders who care about their people as much as their product. Is that you?
“Acquiring the right talent is the most important key to growth. Hiring was—and still is—the most important thing we do.”
Alygra’s expertise sits at the intersection between empathy, employing the most efficient systems and processes, decades of global business acumen, and bringing a high-skilled network to your business.
Scaling a startup

Building your team
shouldn’t be.

The Overstretched Founder
You’re juggling vision, operations, sales, and people. HR is reactive—not effective.
The Culture Architect
You care about building a people-first organisation with values and employee experiences that scale.
The First-Time Hirer
You’ve never hired before and need insightful guidance, not guesswork.
The Scaling Strategist
You’re past ‘scrappy,’ seeking established structures, systems, and high growth.
The Silent Mastermind
You’ve been improvising your people operations—it’s time to clean it up and optimize.
Who We’ve Supported
Natalie’s support has been transformative for us. She allowed us to build scalable HR systems to support our team’s growth, essentially giving us a full HR department without having to hire full-time resources in-house. This has been a game changer for strengthening our employer brand and retaining top talent. On a personal level, it has freed up my time to focus on growth, sales, and strategy — all while knowing that HR is in expert hands. With Natalie, you can truly delegate everything with peace of mind.”
Natalie has been a great advisor for our community of founders and speaker for our fintech community at large.
It has been a pleasure to work with Natalie Loop for more than two years. She has been an invaluable expert and advisor for our fintech community and for many early-stage fintech founders. Through her experience working with larger corporations and the startup sector at large, she brings a deep HR background and a sharp understanding of the unique challenges teams can face. Natalie offers strategic insight, a strong understanding of the innovation ecosystem, and vital experience across the various stages of company growth. Her practical guidance helps build strong teams and resilient cultures. Whether advising founders one-on-one, sharing expertise on industry panels, or mentoring leaders navigating rapid growth, she has consistently brought clarity, empathy, and actionable advice. She is our go-to advisor recommendation for any HR/Team/Culture/Growth requirements.”
Over the 3+ years I worked with Natalie, her impact was both significant and foundational. Natalie possesses a rare combination of genuine insight into people and culture, grounded in the practical experience of knowing how to get things done.
Natalie was a true partner in every sense of the word. She was instrumental in helping us tackle challenging global recruitment for Engineering, ensuring her department was not just a service provider, but a strategic enabler. She actively built the necessary growth levers our organization needed, moving us from our current state toward a more mature and effective future. Working with her was truly enjoyable because she approached every challenge as a shared goal.
Natalie doesn’t operate from a theoretical playbook, but builds what’s right for the business at its specific stage. She is a builder, a strategist, and a partner who elevates the performance of the teams around her, and it was an absolute pleasure to have a partner who was so invested in our collective success.

How We Work With You
Why is an external HR and People Ops agency important for growth?
Working with an external HR agency gives you access to scalable HR support that grows with your business, along with guidance from seasoned specialists exactly when you need it, without hiring full-time. We understand that not every founder or growth executive has the time or expertise for people strategy, so our dedicated team lets you focus on what you do best and refine your vision.
Beyond this, Alygra’s diligent professional oversight helps reduce future risk, turning HR into a function that works for your business—not the other way around.
