About Carolyn

Passionate about helping organizations develop an employee value proposition that goes beyond pay.

Prior to founding Cadence Compensation, Carolyn was a senior compensation consultant with Mercer, one of the world’s largest human resources firms and market leader in compensation analysis. Carolyn collaborated with clients in the public and private sectors to identify the rewards issues affecting talent attraction and retention, and leveraged survey compensation databases and custom survey solutions to develop analytic solutions that supported strategic recommendations. She has extensive experience in broad-based compensation strategy, market benchmarking, job evaluation, job architecture, and salary structure design.

Carolyn knows compensation data. For 8 years, Carolyn led major compensation surveys in the energy, mining and high-tech sectors in Canada for Mercer. She has an in-depth understanding of how to design, gather, analyze, and report compensation data for maximum value.

When she’s not helping her clients to develop compensation programs that attract and retain the skilled talent in their organizations, she’s in the Rocky Mountains – hiking, climbing, skiing, scrambling, backpacking. She’s also a runner and can be found running Calgary’s city pathways.
