Experience

1. VP of Total Rewards and Employee Value Proposition

   Commvault

   Feb 2020 — Present · Tinton Falls, NJ, US

   Commvault is a top global data‑protection software company, recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for over 11 years, with 3,200 employees across 31 countries serving more than customers. Currently consulting until February 2026 while transitioning from Commvault, I’ve led Global Total Rewards & HR Operations, transforming compensation, benefits, and people systems for a 31‑country workforce. I’ve driven enterprise-wide strategy, governance, and execution, and overseen annual global benefits renewals with deep reviews in the US, UK, Australia, and India. I modernized self‑insured US benefits by adding pet insurance, identity theft protection, backup care, and supplemental hospitalization, keeping renewal costs below industry averages for five years. I expanded retirement offerings with Roth, after‑tax contributions, and in‑plan conversions, managed a $250M global compensation budget, and redesigned salary structures from 22 grades to 10 bands. I implemented PayFactors for market pricing, revamped bonus programs for tighter business alignment, launched a modern LTI program with RSUs via Workday, and created guidelines for hiring and promotions. I’ve led executive compensation efforts, supported the Compensation Committee, CD & A, benchmarking, and executive offers, maintained a 95–97% Say‑on‑Pay vote, and represented the company on investor calls with the board and Chairman. I introduced a unified global Reward & Recognition program, expanded HR Shared Services in India to a 12‑person team, strengthened global mobility with AIRES while reducing immigration costs by $400K annually, and championed digital HR transformation by expanding Workday capabilities. I guided the company’s Covid response, including policy redesign, a global 10% pay reduction, voluntary RIF, vaccination support, and safe return‑to‑work/remote frameworks. I led the team in the submission for Commvault earning the 2024 HR Department of the Year award.
