HR Manager at AutoZone who cut medical plan loss ratio by 20% and built compensation and benefits infrastructure.

Brazil
Message

At AutoZone, I built compensation and benefits infrastructure from the ground up, including pay structures using the Korn Ferry Hay methodology and the annual merit and performance cycle. I also reduced medical plan loss ratio by 20% through contract renegotiation and corporate wellness programs, generating over R$1 million in annual savings.

Across AutoZone’s dispersed retail operation, I advised leaders on employee relations, investigations, and performance management while supporting 2,300+ employees. Earlier, I reduced regional turnover by more than 10% in 12 months and built People Analytics reporting to inform leadership decisions.
