Benefits optimisation
AED 2.5M+ annual medical-insurance saving
Context. A GCC asset-management group carrying rising medical-insurance costs across a multi-entity workforce.
Challenge. Insurance categories were not aligned to any grading logic, driving cost without a defensible basis for who received what level of cover.
Intervention. Restructured medical-insurance categories to align with newly designed grading bands, tying benefit level to role level.
Result. Over AED 2.5 million in annual savings, achieved without reducing employee satisfaction or cover quality.
Delivered as Compensation & Benefits Manager, Eltizam Asset Management Group. Verifiable via professional references.
Job architecture
Company-wide grading across five countries
Context. A group expanding operations across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt and the Philippines.
Challenge. Inconsistent roles, titles and pay across entities, with no common structure to support internal equity or ERP integration.
Intervention. Designed and implemented a company-wide job grading and salary structure aligned to internationally accepted frameworks, forming the foundation for compensation strategy, performance management and career progression.
Result. A consistent grading and pay structure spanning five jurisdictions, ready for ERP integration.
Delivered in senior in-house C&B roles across the Eltizam Group.
HR technology
SAP HCM & HRMS implementation
Context. A multi-entity group moving to integrated HR and payroll systems.
Challenge. Manual, inconsistent HR and payroll processes across entities, with high error and compliance risk.
Intervention. Led SAP HCM and UBERIQ HRMS implementation — requirement mapping, stakeholder coordination, system testing, user training and phased rollout — and managed the change process to secure adoption.
Result. Integrated HR and payroll operations across all entities, with cross-regional teams trained to run them.
Recognised in a LinkedIn recommendation as "a subject matter expert in SAP and payroll."
Transactions
M&A HR due diligence
Context. Group merger and acquisition activity requiring HR data validation and policy alignment.
Challenge. Disparate policies, grading and employee data across entities being brought together.
Intervention. Played a key role in HR audits and due diligence — standardising policies and validating data across multiple entities during integration.
Result. Cleaner, more consistent HR data and policy alignment supporting the integration.
Including the Inspire and Colliers integration, per a colleague's LinkedIn recommendation.
