Compensation advisory for companies

Compensation is where you can tell if a startup really means what it says about the culture and organization it wants to build.

Too often, startups outsource the mechanics of compensation or adopt a model from another company without considering what they're trying to optimize for:

I’ve worked through these questions both as a People leader and as an advisor at startups. I start with the company you're trying to build, then use market data to turn those choices into levels, salary and equity bands, and practical guidance for People teams.

I work on both individual projects and an ongoing advisory basis.
