ABOUT KIM SCHWEITZER
Reward Leader with 20+ years’ international experience across global consulting firms and in-house roles within financial and data services organisations. I specialise in building and fixing Reward—creating governance where it’s missing, simplifying complexity, and designing incentive and equity arrangements that are fair, commercially grounded and defensible under scrutiny. My work is often centred on transformation environments, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and restructures, where reward plays a critical role in aligning business strategy, managing risk and retaining key talent. I have deep expertise in executive and board-level reward, LTIP and equity design, adviser and sales compensation, and reward harmonisation across complex, multi-entity organisations. Most recently, as Reward Lead at a PE-owned UK financial services firm, I acted as the sole senior specialist responsible for year-end pay and bonus delivery, LTIP and equity governance, adviser remuneration frameworks, job architecture, fairness analytics and RemCo advisory. I operate effectively in low-resource environments, combining strategic judgement with hands-on delivery. I bring a pragmatic, values-driven approach, with a strong focus on fairness, transparency, risk management and clear, defensible decision-making. Key Areas of Focus Global Total Reward and Executive Compensation M&A, Integration and Reward Harmonisation Pay Transparency, Fair Pay and Regulatory Alignment Incentive, Equity and Sales Compensation Design Job Architecture, Evaluation and Pay Frameworks Reward Governance, Risk and Audit Readiness
