Senior Compensation Analyst@Palo Alto Networks

Nationality

Summary

Human Resources Professional Specializing in Compensation (Tea Enthusiast). I am a CCP certified compensation professional with a strong track record of driving both strategic, enterprise-level initiatives and day-to-day operational compensation work. On the strategic side, I’ve led enterprise-level projects like overhauling salary grade structures, proposing merit increase budgets, overseeing the job governance of 2,300 jobs, and leading projects to mitigate organizational risks. At the same time, I am equally comfortable doing the every-day duties of marketing pricing for new and existing jobs, conducting job analysis, salary bench marking, and providing insights to the business for informed employee acquisition and retention strategies. . Combined with my Master of Industrial and Labor Relations, undergraduate education in Industrial Organizational Psychology, and eclectic HR experiences, I leverage analytical mindset, adherence to policy / law, and a moderate sense of humor to support the employee experience and company strategy in whichever firm I am in.
