I analyse data and business questions, identify relevant relationships, and translate complex findings into clear management presentations and practical recommendations. Depending on the requirements, this can include data cleansing, data modelling, simulations, benchmarking, and the structured presentation and visualisation of findings.

03 · COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Compensation & Benefits

I advise businesses on strategic and operational remuneration topics, with a particular focus on share plans. My experience also includes salary adjustment processes, variable and long-term incentives, performance management, bonus models, provisions and benchmarking. I also support the technical design and further development of processes and IT solutions.

In addition to my core areas of expertise, I also support businesses with broader business management challenges and take on interim project roles where needed. My involvement can range from advisory support to hands-on delivery, with flexible arrangements tailored to the scope, requirements and duration of each engagement.

I generally prefer to work remotely, but am also happy to work on-site for workshops, meetings and project assignments. Where needed, I can draw on a small network of experienced consultants.

Below are selected project examples from my three service areas:

01 · Excel & Process Automation

Automating Share Plans

Background
The manual calculation and administration of different share plans for executives in several countries was time-consuming and prone to error. Different plan rules and currencies added to the complexity.
Approach
Development of an Excel solution to automate the calculation of different share plans, including automatic report generation for executives and reconciliation of results with a second system.
Results
Significant time savings, fewer manual steps and a lower risk of errors.

02 · Business & Data Analysis

Strategic Workforce Planning for Central and Eastern Europe

Background
The future development of the workforce across numerous countries in Central and Eastern Europe needed to be assessed in light of strategic changes in the business areas. The focus was particularly on employee turnover and staffing business areas expected to become more important.
Approach
Analysis of employee numbers, employee turnover and age structure over a medium-term planning horizon. In addition, countries were compared, risks identified and recommendations prepared for regional HR leadership.
Results
Identification of strategic workforce risks and a sound basis for decisions by regional HR leadership and discussions with the regional CEO.

03 · Compensation & Benefits

Modelling and Simulating Global Salary Adjustments

Background
Annual salary adjustments for several thousand executives worldwide required different adjustment models to be developed and their financial impact assessed.
Approach
Contribution to the development of different salary adjustment models and implementation of an Excel-based simulation tool. It enabled decision-makers from different business areas to explore and discuss various scenarios.
