What I'm looking for

I seek a senior payroll role where I can lead multi-country payroll operations, drive automation and compliance, collaborate cross-functionally, and improve efficiency and employee experience.

I am a global payroll leader with 12 years of progressive experience managing end-to-end payroll across APAC, EMEA and multi-region geographies. I focus on payroll compliance, process automation, vendor management and cost optimization.

At GitLab and Twilio I led vendor transitions and automation projects that improved system efficiency and reduced processing time by about 30%, while maintaining error-free, timely payrolls. I have practical hands-on experience with Workday, SAP, Oracle and third-party payroll platforms.

I have successfully executed year-end payrolls and ensured 100% compliance for multiple countries including India, Singapore and South Korea, and designed payroll policy guides that reduced employee queries significantly. I also developed reporting dashboards and implemented process improvements to drive data-driven decisions.

I thrive in remote-first, cross-functional environments and aim to deliver scalable payroll operations that improve employee satisfaction, reduce costs and strengthen controls.
