Hi, I’m Marina

I’ve led People teams across countries and today I specialise in People Automation, using AI, automation, and practical experiments that turn ideas into impact.

This article is part of my No New Tool Required series, where I share smart, lightweight experiments to free up People team time and generate better insights with the tools we already have.

💡 Why This Matters

When it comes to automation, People teams overestimate tool knowledge and underestimate system clarity. The fastest way to identify automation that moves the needle is not actually by opening Make or Zapier or buying another tool. It’s by seeing the system properly.

The good news: you already have everything. Start with your mindset and lean into systems thinking.

My framework Zoom • Slice • Solve shows you how to do it.
