A community
A growing community of 800+ fractional HR professionals, consultants, and solopreneurs building practices and supporting each other every day.
Building a place for leaders who thought they had to do it alone.
FPP started with a simple observation: building a business alone can be lonely - and it doesn't have to be. There's plenty for everyone. So let's build together.
How it started.
Elles Skony spent her career as a People leader, including as a Chief People Officer, building cultures, developing teams, and helping organizations grow. When the company she was supporting needed to restructure, she was the first to raise her hand - recommending she continue in a fractional capacity. What started as a practical solution revealed something bigger: senior HR leaders were exactly what growing companies needed, and the fractional model was exactly how to make that accessible.
What nobody talks about enough is what happens when an HR leader stops supporting someone else's business and starts building their own. The skills are real. The expertise is deep. But the transition from practitioner to business owner is its own journey entirely - and it's one most people navigate without a roadmap, a team, or anyone who truly gets what they're going through. That gap is what FPP was built to close.
FPP has grown because people who believe in sharing, learning, and building together tend to find each other - and have a lot of fun along the way!
"Solopreneurship does not mean you need to do it solo."

What FPP has become.
An ecosystem
An ecosystem that now includes educational programming, industry events, talent matching, strategic partnerships, and daily peer support.
A home base
Not a network you check in on occasionally - a place you actually work, every day, alongside people who get it.
Run by the community, for the community.
FPP isn't run by a corporate team behind closed doors. The people who show up to lead, facilitate, and build this community are fractional HR solopreneurs themselves - growing their own practices, navigating the same challenges, and investing in this community because it invests right back in them. Nobody here is above the work. We're all doing it together. You get as much as you put in, and the people leading the way are proof of that.

And this is just the start. Beyond the people on this page, FPP runs on channel leads, coaches, and contributors who generously give back to their peers, plus the members who show up every day to share advice, resources, expertise and all the good vibes. We wish we could name every one of them, but just know that we're incredibly grateful for this team!
What we believe.
Abundance
There is plenty for everyone. FPP was built on the belief that collaboration beats competition every time, and that when experienced HR leaders share what they know, everyone's practice gets stronger. We don't hoard - we share, refer, and build together.
Joy
This work is hard. Building a business is harder. FPP is a place where you're allowed to celebrate the wins, laugh at the chaos, and feel genuinely good about the community you're part of. Joy isn't a nice-to-have here, it's non-negotiable.
Vibes
Some things are hard to quantify and easy to feel. The FPP vibe is warm, generous, real, and we don't take ourselves too seriously. You'll know it when you're in it. It's the thing that makes people stay.
"It's safe, it's responsive, and it's a lot of freakin' fun."
Come find your people.
If you're a senior HR leader who has committed to the fractional, advisory or consulting path and is building something of their own - you belong here.
