Meet Your Project Lead, Gene
The core problem in HR tech isn't the software, it's the complexity of the project. I founded StackPilot after seeing first-hand where excellent HR software projects succeed and where they fall flat. The pattern was clear: businesses often lacked the time, internal resources, or specific expertise needed to fully realise the value they expected. StackPilot exists to change that trajectory.
My Background:
For the past four years, I worked directly in HR & Payroll Software, specialising in understanding the platform's capabilities, limitations and implementation requirements. This unique insider experience means I know exactly where project risks and bottlenecks appear, particularly during the critical stages of selection and validation.
My mission is to translate that complex, vendor-side knowledge into a clear, structured roadmap that protects your investment and delivers tangible results for your team.
My Unique Focus:
I don't just manage milestones; I act as your internal lead and strategic partner. I jump into the technical details and align your stakeholders to provide:
Confidence: Knowing you’ve selected the right system and avoided common pitfalls.
Clarity: A structured, step-by-step project roadmap.
Momentum: Practical, hands-on support to drive your project forward.
The result is simple: You bypass the costly mistakes, minimise internal stress, and realise the return on your HR tech investment faster.
