I'm the Founder of IncentiveOps Consulting LLC, a specialized sales compensation consultancy built for companies that need clarity, rigor, and operational control over how they pay their sellers. My work sits at the intersection of incentive strategy, commission operations, and ICM implementation. I partner with revenue and finance leaders to design compensation structures that are defensible to leadership, motivating to sales teams, and built to scale — not just survive the next fiscal year. Before founding IncentiveOps, I spent 9 years in sales compensation and revenue operations where I saw firsthand how fragile most compensation operations really are: manual calculations, undocumented governance, misaligned incentives, and ICM platforms configured without a clear plan behind them. That experience is what shaped my approach. I don't just audit what's broken — I build the systems, documentation, and governance frameworks that prevent things from breaking in the first place. IncentiveOps works with clients across three engagement models: end-to-end fractional compensation operations, project-based ICM implementations, and strategic advisory for leadership teams navigating plan redesigns or rapid growth. If your compensation program is holding your revenue motion together with spreadsheets and tribal knowledge, that's exactly where I work best.

I am passionate about empowering managers and engaging employees through data-driven and holistic approaches to total rewards management and communication. I have presented at national HR conferences, published in reputable journals and magazines, and authored chapters on global compensation and HCM analytics. I also host the HR Data Labs podcast, where I share insights and trends on how HR can use data and analytics to drive business value and performance. I hold the HCS certificate from the Human Capital Institute and a few Coursera certificates on data science.
