Work With Me

Let’s Build Resilient, Scalable Teams – Without the Risk.

At With Intention Consulting, I help startup investors protect their portfolio by solving the #1 risk in early-stage scaling: people.

When founders struggle with hiring, leadership, or culture alignment, it impacts execution, drains runway, and reduces investor returns. My People Risk Mitigation Framework focuses on:

✅ Founder Resilience & Leadership Strategy – Reduce burnout and improve execution.
✅ Hiring & Retention Best Practices – Cut hiring failures by 65% and build high-performing teams.
✅ Culture & Operational Stability – Align growth, leadership, and execution seamlessly.

I don’t offer generic HR solutions—I mitigate investment risk by ensuring portfolio companies scale effectively. Let’s work together to reduce hiring mistakes, improve founder resilience, and create long-term portfolio success.

Investment & Partnership

Because let’s be real—talking about mitigating risks and investing in solutions shouldn’t feel like cracking a code. Here’s the thing: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages because your challenges and goals are as unique as your business. Every fund, founder, and corporate team I work with has its own distinct risks, opportunities, and “we need to solve this ASAP” moments.

Instead of tossing out generic solutions, I believe in having honest conversations about:

From there, we’ll co-create a partnership that makes sense for you. No cookie-cutter solutions, no jargon—just intentional strategies designed to protect your people, align your teams, and ensure long-term growth. Ready to chat? Let’s uncover how we can de-risk your journey together.

What Clients Say About Me

Delia is incredible. Delia performed an audit of my startup company and not only confirmed things we knew we could improve on but was able to clearly articulate in a helpful way other ways we could improve. Once she did the audit and shared her findings, I then hired her to help with taking steps on her action plan to develop a job framework, role descriptions, and onboarding documents. Somehow, with only a couple weeks, she learned my entire industry and our positions and created a truly wonderful framework that I will use forever. She is smart, kind, intuitive, delivers actionable feedback in a way that people can hear and understand, and bafflingly efficient. I couldn't recommend her more highly for partnership for your startup

Jana Montgomery, Ph.D ActiVie

Delia’s expertise in People Strategy transformed the way I lead and manage my startup. Before working with her, hiring felt like guesswork, and team culture was an afterthought. Through her structured approach, we’ve been able to reduce turnover by 35%, cut hiring time by 50%, and create a high-performance culture that drives growth. Her insights on leadership and team scaling have given me the confidence to make smarter hiring decisions and proactively address people challenges before they become risks. What once felt reactive and overwhelming is now a structured, scalable process—allowing me to focus on growing the business with clarity and confidence.

Janet Martin Our Time HQ

Delia led an incredible in-person session with our group of later-stage founders in Abu Dhabi, which focused on hiring well, managing resources, and caring for your people. We had startups across multiple team sizes coming from different geographies, and Delia was incredibly thoughtful in her approach to creating value for everyone across the whole session. She approached designing the workshop with intention and research -- which we appreciated greatly considering the diversity of our cohort. Furthermore, she ensured the delivery of the workshop allowed for every founder in the room to have a voice and showcased her breath of experience across so many different opportunities in the people space. Thank you, Delia! We look forward to collaborating again in the future!
