Chad jumped into his work at Lattice with both feet and immediately brought his wealth of knowledge to bear. His deep expertise coupled with his flexibility in approach made him a reliable and valuable teammate and advisor. I was especially grateful for his willingness to come onto a webinar as our Compensation expert while he was still onboarding, which of course he nailed.

His information was very relevant and provided valuable nuggets for all levels of responsibility within the audience. Thank you, Chad for taking the time to present and sharing such good information.

Sep 2022 - Jan 2023
(I was affected by Lattice’s decision in Jan 2023 to downsize 15% of their workforce.) As a senior level leader in Lattice’s Advisory Services group, I established the group’s rewards-related offerings to Lattice customers. This entailed understanding customers’ needs, building a menu of services and providing competitive offerings to help them execute on their talent strategies. My thought leadership was featured in Lattice’s webinars and publications, I worked with product teams on building technology roadmaps, and I consulted with Lattice’s People Operations team to address talent challenges.
