When execution stalls, the instinct is to add people, tighten management, or launch a program. The actual problem is almost always structural. FACTS Advisory finds it and fixes it — without open-ended consulting.
A new operating model is in place — or about to be. The growth strategy is defined. But the capabilities, leadership behaviors, and systems needed to execute it at pace haven't been realigned. The gap between where the strategy points and what the organization can actually deliver is where structural risk lives — and where FACTS Advisory engages.
Post-acquisition. Rapid scaling. New market entry. Operating model redesign. A leadership team that worked at 200 people but is starting to crack at 800.
$100M–$3B in revenue. 300 to 7,000 employees. Organizations at a moment where leadership, operating model, and capability need to catch up with the business.
Decision-makers who recognize that execution bottlenecks are not talent problems — they're design problems. CEOs and PE partners own the mandate. CHROs are often the first to diagnose the structural gap — and the peer who sponsors the engagement from the inside.
Every engagement draws from the same core methodology — leadership scaling, operating model design, and capability transformation. The difference is altitude, scope, and speed to value.
Selective, senior-led mandates for CEOs and boards at critical inflection points. Leadership Risk Review, 90-Day Implementation, and extended advisory for organizations facing structural complexity.
CHRO-level judgment embedded at the executive level for complex, high-stakes mandates — not HR administration, not interim staffing. The work is structural: standing up HR functions inside regulated institutions, leading people architecture through transformation, building the organizational layer that determines whether a strategy actually executes.
A bounded 2-week diagnostic that maps workforce capability against business strategy, surfaces AI adoption readiness, and delivers a prioritized roadmap with clear next steps.
Employees transitioned through a multi-year platform operating model redesign — from functional silos to cross-functional agile delivery.
Three systemic growth bottlenecks diagnosed and removed — leadership team operating independently, CEO returned to strategic focus.
Building a US banking operation from the ground up as Fractional CHRO — people architecture, HR infrastructure, and regulatory compliance under OCC scrutiny. Active engagement.
Martin Robatti is a transformation executive who built his edge inside the HR function — where organizational design, leadership architecture, and capability gaps are most visible, and most consequential. Not a career consultant. Before founding FACTS Advisory, he spent two decades inside organizations large enough that bad organizational design cost hundreds of millions, and complex enough that fixing it required both strategic clarity and the political capital to execute.
At BNY Mellon in New York City, he served as Global Head of HR for Technology, Operations, and Enterprise Transformation — co-designing the Platform Operating Model, leading AI-enabled workforce programs, managing change impacting 50,000+ employees. At Citi, he led HR and workforce strategy for Operations & Technology across 20+ international markets.
His career began with CHRO appointments in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile — leading organizations through labor negotiations, mergers, and operating model redesigns where the margin for error was near zero. Current engagements span financial services, payments, natural resources, and new market entry across the US, Peru, Chile, and Central America.

No scope-first selling. No billable ambiguity. A specific finding first — then a decision about what comes next, if anything.
A 30-minute conversation to determine whether there's fit and what the structural problem actually is. No commitment required.
Every engagement starts with a bounded diagnostic — not a proposal, not a retainer. A specific finding with a defined deliverable.
The next phase is only activated when the diagnostic produces evidence that warrants it. No assumed continuation.
No open-ended consulting. Every engagement container has a clear deliverable, a timeline, and an exit point built in from day one.
A 30-minute working session is enough to diagnose whether there's fit, what the leverage point is, and what engagement makes sense — if any.
