Global Mobility & Corporate Housing Advisor

2011-1 - Present · 15 yrs 9 mos

I partner with HR Directors, Procurement Leads, and Global Mobility teams to audit and optimize their international housing supply chains. By removing redundant broker layers and "DIY" risk, I help scaling organizations reduce mobility spend by up to 20% while ensuring 100% VAT and tax compliance. Core Advisory Services: Supply Chain Audit: Identifying hidden markups in third-party RMC/Broker models to reclaim budget. Market Entry Strategy (EMEA/LATAM/APAC): Designing "Soft-Landing" programs and vetting local property partners for office launches. Policy Design: Transitioning firms from risky "reimbursement models" to centralized, compliant corporate housing programs. Vendor Benchmarking: Providing real-time market data to ensure companies pay local rates, not "tourist" or "blind broker" premiums. Key Outcomes: Eliminate the "Compliance Gap" in employee-booked short-term rentals. Standardized 5-star "white-glove" experience for VIP executive hires. Direct-to-source property vetting in across EMEA/LATAM/APAC.
