Laura Lyons

I am a Global HR leader with a proven track record in designing and executing Total Rewards strategies across North America, APAC, and EMEA. My expertise lies in aligning compensation and benefits programs with organizational goals, enhancing employee satisfaction, and driving retention. I excel at collaborating with executive leadership to develop competitive compensation structures, manage equity programs, and support business success through data-driven insights.

In my current role as Senior Manager of Total Rewards at Wonolo Inc., I spearheaded the design and execution of global compensation strategies across 10 countries, managed pre-IPO equity programs, and negotiated benefits programs that reduced costs by 55% while maintaining a 97% employee satisfaction rate. My commitment to ensuring pay equity compliance and enhancing employee understanding through effective communication strategies has consistently yielded positive results.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have allowed me to integrate Total Rewards programs during M&A transactions, conduct compensation audits, and lead annual merit cycles. My focus on data-driven decision-making and employee engagement has been instrumental in achieving organizational success and fostering a culture of transparency and trust.
