Recommendations from LinkedIn
Nat was always a positive influence on any project. Able to see the bigger picture and come up with innovative, effective solutions. A joy to work with with.
Nat was a consultant on a project when implementing global HR processes. As a customer I really appreciated his professionalism, deep knowledge in the HR areas and especially the Compensation environment and his dedication to deliver with quality on time and follow-up to secure things were going as planned.
Nat is someone who has always approached change... with an appetite to dig in and lead the charge. That’s invaluable and a quality that I greatly admire in him. Nat is able to distil complex scenarios into a framework that addresses the primary concern for most stakeholders: "what's in it for me?" He's a solutions oriented, highly collaborative team leader and is always willing to roll up his sleeves to help the team.
Nat consulted with us on our HR Evolution project particularly around process design. He brought pragmatism and thoughtful insight. He challenged us on the right things, and did so constructively. His past experience meant that he could relate to our challenges and coached effectively to find smart ways of managing them. He is calm, collected and eminently approachable.
