Services

I specialize in compensation consulting across three practice areas. Whether you are an HR leader navigating pay transparency requirements, a company building compensation infrastructure, or an immigration attorney preparing a petition, I can help.

Compensation Design & Pay Equity

  • For companies that want fair, competitive pay programs.

I work with organizations to build compensation frameworks that are structured, market-aligned, and defensible — whether you are starting from scratch or auditing what you already have.

What this includes:

  • Total Rewards philosophy and strategy design
  • Job architecture and job evaluation
  • Salary structure design and pay band creation
  • Internal pay equity analysis
  • Incentive and variable pay design (short-term, long-term, sales)
  • Benefits benchmarking and scoping
  • Market pricing and survey participation (Mercer, WTW, ERI)

EU Pay Transparency Directive Compliance

  • For European multinationals preparing for the Directive.
The EU Pay Transparency Directive sets new obligations for employers across member states, with full transposition deadlines approaching. I support companies through the full compliance journey — from initial assessment to country-level implementation. What this includes:
  • EUPTD readiness assessment and gap analysis
  • Job evaluation framework design and implementation
  • Pay gap reporting methodology and data collection
  • Country-specific legislative analysis and delta review
  • Multi-country rollout support and project coordination
  • Employee communication and manager training materials
I have active experience working across Italy, France, Germany, Finland, Hungary, and Romania.

Compensation Analysis for Immigration Petitions

  • For U.S. immigration attorneys and their clients.
I produce expert compensation analysis reports that document the extraordinary nature of a foreign national’s compensation as part of EB-1A and O-1 visa petitions. These reports are written to meet the evidentiary standards required by USCIS and are designed to support your legal strategy. What this includes:
  • Compensation benchmarking against peer-level professionals in the same field
  • BLS OEWS data analysis, with Levels.fyi and Salary.com as secondary sources
  • SOC code identification and justification
  • Geographic and cost-of-labor adjustments
  • Equity compensation annualization and valuation (RSU, PSU, stock options)
  • Total compensation analysis: base, bonus, equity, and benefits
  • Expert opinion letter on compensation findings
I work directly with attorneys throughout the process and deliver reports in a format ready for petition filing.
