My Services

I offer comprehensive Total Rewards solutions, including job architecture, salary structuring, incentive compensation, equity, retention, health and wellness programs, and compliance support to maximize operational efficiency, leverage compensation and benefits, and enhance employee engagement.

Job Architecture

Establish clear, differentiated roles, career paths, and responsibilities for transparency and improved operational efficiency of employees and management.

Grade/Level & Salary Structuring

Aligning company hierarchy and management scope by developing pay scales, geographic differentials, and considerations for other market-based conditions.

Incentive Compensation Strategy

Develop programs to ensure performance and productivity are appropriately recognized and financially rewarded.  From direct sales to key account management to corporate-based objectives and project management, incentives are a critical leadership tool.

Equity & Retention Strategy

Design and implement long-term incentive strategies inclusive of equity programs related to company stock, units, phantom, profits interest, and other vehicles, including cash, to retain key/critical employees and correlate their own financial success with the company’s.

Organizational Design

By integrating organizational design with compensation, HR can drive workforce efficiency, improve talent attraction and retention, and maintain competitive market positioning

Total Rewards Compliance Support

Regulatory compliance is critical for protecting your business. While I am not a lawyer, I provide guidance to help ensure Total Reward programs are designed and administered in alignment with legal requirements, compliance considerations, and best practices. My role includes highlighting areas where specialized legal advice may be needed, as well as supporting documentation, policy development, and program administration. This proactive approach reduces risk, strengthens total rewards strategies, and increases operational efficiency.

Health & Wellness / Retirement Program Development

Employees thrive when they feel supported in both health and financial security. I provide strategic guidance and implementation support to help organizations design cost-effective benefit packages and wellness initiatives that balance company resources with employee needs. Working closely with benefits team and/or brokers, I ensure programs are competitively priced, compliant, and aligned with the unique needs and characteristics of your workforce. Programs may include:

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life and disability coverage
  • Mental health resources
  • Retirement savings plans (401(k) and more)
  • Work-life balance initiatives

This collaborative approach ensures that employees are supported today while building long-term financial and personal well-being for the future.

Mergers, Acquisitions & Divestitures

Major business transitions demand thoughtful Total Reward strategies. I help organizations navigate these critical moments by providing:

  • Workforce & Total Rewards Due Diligence – Assessing organizational risks and opportunities ahead of the transaction.
  • Rewards Harmonization – Integrating job structure, compensation, and benefits programs to align cultures and support the intent of the M&A.
  • Separation Planning – Designing smooth transitions and minimizing disruption during divestitures.

My approach reduces uncertainty, safeguards employee trust, and helps organizations maintain business continuity through change.
