What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading Total Rewards and people strategy where I can advise executives, govern compensation, manage transformation, and balance cost control with retention.

I am a Senior Executive specializing in Total Rewards and People Strategy with 15+ years designing and governing enterprise-scale compensation, incentives, equity, retention and mobility programs across multi-region organizations.

I advise C-suite leaders and boards on executive pay, incentive alignment, pay equity and workforce risk, delivering defensible decisions under public-company governance and shareholder scrutiny.

I have led reward strategy and compensation governance through transformations, restructurings and international expansion, partnering closely with Finance, Legal and IT to control costs while preserving leadership retention.

My career includes leadership roles at global automotive, logistics, digital government and telecom organizations, plus consulting experience and product ownership of a $3M+ Kickstarter that demonstrates cross-functional delivery under high accountability.
