The appointment
What the business needed.
The brief
A financial services business operating across several countries needed a senior rewards leader to manage compensation across the group. Financial incentives had to fit with business risk and governance requirements.
What made it hard
In a highly regulated business, variable pay is a governance question as much as an HR one. The brief needed deep compensation expertise, a clear understanding of risk and regulation, and the ability to work with finance and compliance as closely as with HR.
Who we found

What changed
The appointment led to changes in variable pay programmes, greater internal fairness and better regulatory compliance. The leader also brought HR, finance and compliance teams into closer working relationships, keeping rewards consistent with industry standards and the company’s goals.
