Winslow Forward · Forward-deployed PeopleOps engineer

Maya Halberg.

I configure Winslow around your company, write the agentic workflows your team needs in the first six months, and stay close — through QBRs, comp cycles, audits, and whatever else lands on your desk. Five years as a People Ops Engineer. Four FDE engagements at Winslow.

What I'm doing this quarter

Embedded with three customers. Shipping something every week.

Forward engineers run 2–3 active engagements at a time. The cadence is high — a customer might see two new skills and a comp-cycle revision every fortnight.

Engagements I've led

Companies I've embedded with so far.

Four full engagements. Each one started with a platform configuration, moved into agentic workflows, ended with the customer's People team writing their own skills.
