Consulting
You can count on my experience
Good advice, whenever things get complicated or difficult.
You are looking for expert advice. For example, you may want to have your compensation system reviewed or create a stronger link between pay and performance.
I advise the compensation committee of the board on compensation systems for senior management and the board of directors as well as on compensation governance. I also advise company management, Human Resources or total rewards management.
You can count on an independent, impartial partner who listens, connects different aspects, gives open and clear feedback and supports discussion processes.
Benefits to you: advice based on corporate practice, knowledge, experience and personality, and – whenever it’s needed – a new perspective arising from critical questions and healthy debate.

My expertise covers all matters relating to compensation. I advise executive bodies on the basis of quality, sound judgment, practical application and feasibility. My advice may include an analysis of systems, processes, context, market potential and practical application, along with the preparation of proposals and solutions.
I advise the board of directors, the management board and the head of HR and compensation, and design solutions for your systems and programs related to compensation, incentives, participation, mobility and provisions for specialists, management and board members.
In terms of variable compensation, I help to find the right balance in relation to performance, so that these compensation components provide the right incentive.
I draw up provisions to ensure that these compensation components are applied correctly in the event of contractual or personnel-related matters. I help to consolidate regulations across plans or countries.
I perform an in-depth evaluation of your compensation processes to detect and rectify shortcomings. Processes of this kind are challenging and require much work when applied in conjunction with international compensation, shareholder programs with participants in different countries, and management members. I develop solutions to create more efficiency, compliance and transparency.

Your company operates internationally, and your compensation systems and programs are used in different countries. You are responsible for their centralized or local implementation and management. Many of your challenges involve operations and processes abroad, and relate to international practices, efficiency, transparency, compliance and regulation. A lack of resources and increasing complexity exacerbate these issues.
Your board of directors and executive board are tasked with balancing the wishes of owners, shareholders and voting governance advisors, while observing laws, provisions and regulations. At the same time, you want to meet the demands of your talented workforce in terms of attractiveness, motivation, commitment and fairness, and you seek advice on how to do so. You are looking for a neutral, yet critical voice to contribute when working out simple, practical solutions. You value independent advice and the opinion of an experienced expert well versed in international matters and the requirements that go with them.
