Broeck Gaston

Senior Compensation Partner @ Zscaler

Seattle, Washington, United States

About

I’m a compensation professional with 10+ years of experience helping global technology companies make thoughtful, fair, and transparent pay decisions. I’ve partnered across HR and the business on compensation strategy, job architecture, internal pay equity, market benchmarking, executive analytics, and global compensation reward cycles. The part of my job I love most isn’t the numbers—it’s helping people understand them. I’m passionate about creating clarity around complex compensation topics so managers can make thoughtful decisions, employees can better understand how they’re paid, and organizations can build trust. I wouldn’t be where I am today without people who invested in me, so I try to pay that forward by sharing knowledge, simplifying complex problems, and building tools and resources that help others succeed. My goal is simple: create clarity where there is complexity, build trust where there is uncertainty, and leave every team a little stronger than I found it.
