Meet Jayme Rae Gruetzmacher
Founder of HumanRae

For the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of working across various industries as an HR/People Leader—from healthcare and the commercial art market to retail and beauty. I approach my work with enthusiasm for my practice, building a foundation of trust, and staying focused on positive impact for the business and the people. Throughout my career, I’ve worn nearly every HR/People hat, most recently building HR/People departments from the ground up at Faherty Brand (twice awarded Forbes Best Start-Up Employer) and Supergoop!.

HumanRae was born from my desire to channel this experience into impactful HR/People work with early-stage companies. Whether laying a strong HR/People foundation, filling temporary resource gaps, or coaching HR/People professionals, I know the difference a dedicated People partner can make at any growth stage. It’s never too early to start shaping your people practices for what truly matters—your people. This work motivates me to move every morning (alongside my young daughter!) as it is a chance to make a meaningful impact and help purpose-driven businesses align with their values and people-first principles.
