I believe compensation is one of the clearest ways to communicate a company’s priorities and values. Properly designed compensation programs are vital to reinforce the strategy and motivate achievement of the organization’s business objectives. Conversely, when compensation programs are inconsistent with the organization’s mission, the result can be costly. My goal is to develop compensation structures that drive sustainable growth and mitigate risk.
