I’ve built my career around one simple belief:
The companies that thrive are the ones that invest in their people early, intentionally, and wholeheartedly.

I'm Samantha Famous — a strategic people and talent advisor with deep experience helping early-stage and growth-stage companies build strong foundations, make great hires, and create cultures where exceptional people can do their best work.

Over the past decade, I've helped shape the growth of some of the most dynamic companies, including Blue Apron, sweetgreen, and Modern Animal. At each stage of my career, I've seen firsthand that success isn’t just about strategy — it’s about the teams you trust to deliver it.

I founded Samantha Famous Consulting to bring that experience to founders and leadership teams who are ready to build companies that scale because they are rooted in strong talent, clear frameworks, and intentional culture.

Whether you need support hiring your first executive, designing your leveling and compensation systems, ensuring HR compliance in complex states like California, or strengthening your team's engagement, I bring practical expertise, strategic insight, and a belief that every interaction shapes the future of your company.

My Approach:

• Partnership: I embed deeply, act as an extension of your leadership team, and tailor every engagement to your unique goals.

• Precision: I help you avoid costly mistakes by focusing on what matters most at each stage of growth.

• Pragmatic Heart: I believe in balancing business results with humanity — because both are essential to long-term success.

If you're ready to build a company that not only grows but endures, I'd love to partner with you.
