Who we are
Mariposa is a forward-thinking HR consultancy built for organizations navigating complexity, growth, and transformation. We deliver strategic, people-centered solutions grounded in equity, structure, and sustainability, helping businesses strengthen their HR foundations while staying true to their values. Whether you’re scaling up, restructuring, or reimagining the employee experience, our frameworks bring clarity, consistency, and lasting impact. We partner with leaders, founders, and changemakers who are ready to invest in the future of their people.
The name Mariposa blends our last names (Martin and Maposa) and, coincidentally, means “butterfly” in Spanish. It reflects evolution, emergence, and beauty born through change, just like the transformations we have experienced in our own lives. Now, we help organizations embrace this same journey of growth and transformation.
We Are the Butterfly. Together, we represent the core of transformation in our brand: emerging, leading, and guiding others toward clarity, alignment, and equity. The butterfly is not decorative; it is purposeful, intelligent, and forward-moving, just like our work.
The Wings Are Our Legacy. One wing represents Candice, the other Eula. Our shared experience in HR, leadership, analytics, and cultural transformation lifts organizations with balance, harmony, and vision.
The Flight Path Is Strategic. We do not flutter. We fly with direction. Our solutions are guided by frameworks, analytics, and insight. Every pivot is intentional, and every engagement is designed to create measurable, lasting impact.
