Commitment To Clients

My consulting focus is two-fold. I work with a wide array of organizations in assessing and developing compensation programs designed to cover the majority of the workforce (i.e., employees below the executive level). As organizations strive to recruit, engage, and retain the talent required to be successful, pay programs need to be grounded in sound, market-based practices that reflect an organization’s priorities. In addition, I work with not-for-profit clients (boards and senior management) in ensuring executive compensation programs are aligned with their mission and strategy while recognizing the impact of regulatory and compliance issues.
