About

Global Payroll Professional with 18+ years of experience delivering accurate, compliant, and scalable multi‑country payroll operations across APAC, EMEA, GCC, and India for multinational organizations. I specialize in end‑to‑end global payroll management, including payroll governance, statutory compliance, payroll audits, vendor and SLA management, payroll accounting, GL reconciliations, and payroll transformations. I have successfully partnered with HR, Finance, Legal, Benefits, and external payroll vendors to ensure on‑time payroll delivery while minimizing compliance and financial risk. My experience spans both in‑house global payroll operations and outsourced payroll models, leading large teams and managing payroll for 5,000+ employees across multiple countries. I bring strong hands‑on expertise in Oracle HCM, SAP, ADP Streamline, and enterprise payroll controls, with a consistent focus on process improvement, automation, and governance. Known for my ability to manage complex payroll ecosystems, lead transitions and implementations, and act as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders, I help organizations scale payroll operations while maintaining accuracy, compliance, and employee trust.
