«All rewards carry messages - intentional or not» (M. Rose, Reward Management) 🎯 Total Rewards Strategist | Regional SME | Certified C&B Professional My mission is as simple as it is ambitious: to turn Compensation into a strategic language capable of connecting people, performance and purpose. With a solid background in Manufacturing and a present in Tech (Global Compensation Team @Hyland), I lead EMEA Total Rewards projects with a market-based, data-driven and compliance-oriented approach, supporting HR and leadership in designing reward systems that are consistent, sustainable and competitive. 📌 My areas of focus: - Job Architecture and Salary Structures - Pay Equity and Benchmarking - Short- and Long-Term Incentives - Comp Cycle Planning & Budgeting - Post-M&A Reward Harmonization and Change Management 📚 CCBP Certified (AIHR) | WorldatWork Member | LUISS Graduate in Law and HRM 🔍 What drives me is the belief that compensation programs are not just financial levers, but powerful organizational messages that shape culture, motivation and belonging. 🤝 And I strongly believe that no success is truly meaningful unless built together: teamwork is everything.
