I build APAC compensation frameworks, harmonize rewards, and guide merit and bonus cycles at global scale.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Boston Consulting Group, I lead compensation strategy and execution across Asia-Pacific businesses, advising regional leadership, HR, and Finance on reward decisions.
I've built pay pyramids and salary models for expanding businesses, harmonized structures following acquisitions, and set APAC-wide merit and year-end guidelines. I also delivered annual bonus and leadership-bonus programs for approximately 30,000 employees, with on-time, error-free payouts.
Earlier, I supported organization design, performance-management frameworks, compensation benchmarking, and retention interventions through Deloitte, EY, and Cerebrus Consultants. I pair market data, scenario modeling, and practical governance to create competitive, internally equitable reward programs.
