Description

I help global organizations navigate complex HR transformations.

Over 20 years with Bridgestone (27,000 employees, 45+ countries), Coca-Cola, and Pfizer, I've learned that successful transformation requires equal parts strategy, diplomacy, and hands-on execution. I don't just design solutions; I help to make them work in the (at times messy) reality of multicultural organizations.

My track record includes:

- M&A/divestiture integration: Led HR integration for acquisitions and divestitures; designed post-merger structures; harmonized reward systems

- Total Rewards transformation: Built EMEA Centers of Excellence; implemented enterprise HRIS across 45+ countries; redesigned compensation frameworks and executive incentive programs

- Organizational change: Restructured business units; established shared services; founded HR Data Analytics function; drove digital transformation

I specialize in complex environments i.e. multiple jurisdictions, matrix organizations, regulated industries where standard approaches often fall short. My multicultural experience (North America, EMEA, Africa, Middle East, Asia) enables me to navigate diverse stakeholders with cultural intelligence.

Now with KoMiChi (Consulting), I support Boards and executives with transformation strategy, M&A integration, and interim leadership.
