Alexia Concepcion
Alexia embeds with growing companies of 20 to 150 employees that need hands-on HR backup when founders or lean internal teams are stretched thin juggling hiring, payroll, compliance, and benefits while trying to scale. She is the partner a leadership team can hand day-to-day people operations to so they can get back to running the business, taking ownership of onboarding, payroll, compliance tracking, and the projects that need steady follow-through so nothing slips through the cracks. Clients describe her as the person they trust to keep work moving and stay on top of every detail without being asked twice. She does not need to be the loudest voice in the room; she would much rather be the steady partner leaders count on to get the work across the finish line.
What Alexia Does Best
- Running HR operations and payroll: She handles the core operational rhythm of HR, including payroll administration, onboarding, compliance tracking, employee records, and benefits administration, giving growing businesses reliable structure instead of loose ends.
- Turning messy processes into clear systems: She audits existing HR workflows, onboarding steps, job descriptions, and tracking spreadsheets, rebuilding the ones that have become harder to manage than they need to be.
- Keeping HR organized through acquisitions and growth: She backs up leadership teams through hiring pushes, organizational changes, and acquisitions, coordinating employee transitions and documentation so people feel supported while the business grows.
Recent Engagements
- 40-person technology company completing an acquisition • Total HR • 4 months: The company was integrating an acquisition while still running day-to-day payroll, benefits, and employee operations. Alexia led acquisition onboarding, coordinated employee communications, completed I-9 verifications, and partnered with vendors on system setup and data migration as the acquired team joined. The transition stayed organized, new team members felt welcomed and supported from day one, and leadership had the extra capacity needed to navigate a complex deal.
- 50-person manufacturing and e-commerce company • Total HR • 4 months: As headcount grew, the company needed steady hands on payroll, benefits, multi-state compliance, and workforce operations. Alexia ran weekly payroll, coordinated open enrollment, completed state tax and labor registrations for new employee locations, and partnered with leadership to upgrade time tracking and labor reporting. Payroll became predictable, benefits administration stabilized, and leaders gained clear visibility into labor costs.
- E-commerce consulting agency with a distributed workforce • Extend HR • 4 months: The agency needed embedded backup for onboarding, contractor administration, payroll compliance, and recruiting workflows across a remote team. Alexia managed onboarding for both employees and contractors, refreshed job descriptions, supported recruiting, and standardized onboarding documentation. New hires now get a consistent first-week experience, and HR is much easier for the internal team to run as the agency scales.
Prior Experience
- Office Specialist • Nonprofit Workforce Development Organization (Twin Cities, MN): Supported HR, payroll, internal operations, executive administration, events, vendor management, and board coordination for a growing nonprofit team.
- Associate Global Mobility Counselor • Global Relocation and Mobility Services Company: Guided employee relocations and leave administration for 50+ employees at a time, maintaining accurate documentation, compliance, and a warm, supportive experience for employees navigating major moves.
- Real Estate Services Administrator • Global Commercial Real Estate Services Company: Managed payroll administration, invoice processing, compliance reporting, vendor coordination, and budget preparation across multiple commercial properties.
Education
- MBA Candidate, University of St. Thomas (Expected 2028)
- Bachelor's Degree, Minnesota School of Business, Richfield

David Mink
David founded Avalaunch Media in 2012 and built it into one of the fastest-growing marketing agencies in the country: 50 people, 8 figures, clients like Red Bull, GoPro, and Microsoft. After working with hundreds of companies, he kept seeing the same pattern: businesses with a real marketing leader get results. Those without one waste time and money. That's why he built the first fractional CMO, agency-backed solution and why he joined Ampleo.

Ryan Purser
Ryan Purser has helped companies secure hundreds of millions in debt and equity financing, and specializes in forecasting, financial models, KPIs, and the system upgrades that make them all work.
