I bring decades of analytical expertise and deep knowledge of the scientific literature to provide data-driven insights that uncover organizational challenges and point the way forward.

Pay transparency and gender equality in companies

I support companies in calculating and reporting gender pay gaps in line with the EU Pay Transparency Directive. With two decades of experience as an economist in academia, strong skills in quantitative data analysis, and extensive report-writing expertise, I provide reliable and precise compliance support.

But my work does not stop at reporting. With a long-standing focus on gender equality in economic processes and outcomes, I help organizations understand the drivers behind their numbers and design strategies to address inequalities. In this way, reporting becomes a foundation for real change.

Turning data into insights

Every organization has numbers that can tell a story – about opportunities, challenges, and the path forward. I analyze data to uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface, and to show how issues can be addressed.

Data analysis complements the valuable knowledge of HR and People & Culture teams, adding the quantitative perspective that makes patterns visible and solutions actionable.

Some common focus areas include:

• Gender (in)equality: Pay gaps, promotion chances, representation across levels.
• Demographic shifts: How many employees are approaching retirement in the next 5–10 years? Where will future skills be needed?
• Pay and promotion dynamics: Who moves ahead, and who gets stuck?
• Recruitment and retention: What attracts people to your company, and how can you best retain top talent?
• Work-life balance and flexibility: Overtime, part-time structures, and return rates after parental leave.
• Representation and diversity: Not only gender, but also age, nationality, and educational background (and other dimensions).
• Absences and sick leave: What is causing excessive absenteeism?

Together, we let the numbers tell the story – and then develop concrete steps to make the change you want come to life.

Research consulting

I also provide consulting for researchers, particularly in preparing applications for research funding. Here I bring my academic background, methodological expertise, and experience in crafting successful proposals to help researchers present their work convincingly and strategically.
