HR Build-Out for Scaling Companies

Distributed Workforce & Cross-Border HR

Distributed Workforce & Cross-Border HR

Policies, employee handbooks, and HR infrastructure built from the ground up  designed for companies moving fast without an HR function yet. In my fractional practice, a from-scratch HR portal and a 20+ policy handbook cut employee inquiries to the HR helpline by more than half.

Distributed Workforce & Cross-Border HR

As more companies build engineering and operations teams in Latin America & Brazil, HR has to bridge both worlds - culture, compensation, and compliance on both sides. I've managed HR through a cross-border acquisition in São Paulo (Motorola's integration into Google), built compensation and benefits structures for a Brazil market entry (Glanbia), and led regional HR across 6 Latin American countries (Samsung).

Pay structures that are competitive and defensible, in the U.S. and across Latin American markets. My compensation and organizational redesign work has delivered over $1.3M in workforce cost savings without sacrificing retention.
