I've had the privilege to work with some amazing people.  Here's what they have to say about working together....

“Rebecca is one of the best compensation professionals I've worked with. She has extensive experience and knowledge across multiple industries. As a start up biotech, Rebecca developed our pay structure and guided us through the job leveling initiative. She applies a strategic lens as well as deliver the analytical results. I would highly recommend Rebecca for any compensation initiatives/projects.”

- Bee Nguyen, Chief People Officer Arsenal Bio

Rebecca is a remarkable combination of strategic and practical. She is equally talented exploring big ideas, like how compensation can enable culture and drive business success, and untangling the nitty-gritty details that underlie the strategies, like determining the correct job match for a mid-level engineer. She is also incredibly productive: she produces more value in an hour than most good comp consultants do in three. I can put her in front of my CEO whenever I need to and know that it will reflect well on me.

Rebecca recently completed two substantial projects for me at View. Our compensation and job leveling had not kept up with the growth and development of our company and needed to be essentially re-booted from scratch. Rebecca helped me design a change and communications process that enabled a smooth and effective adoption of much needed depth and rigor in our job structures and most importantly, an alignment at the executive level of how this job and compensation architecture aligned with evolving company total rewards philosophy and positioning. Rebecca also helped with a very strategic equity review and market analysis that enabled clear alignment with Compensation Committee and Board expectations. Rebecca brings a business and finance background to her consulting practice that ensures all conversations and analysis focus on the fit and business relevance as much as solid market analysis and accuracy. Very responsive and fast and a pleasure to work with!
— Mike Schroeder, Prior VP Human Resources at View Dynamic Glass
I sought the expertise of RJ as my organization was seeking to re-invent our compensation strategy and structure and to update and re-invigorate our competitive standing. We relied on RJ’s knowledge, her creativeness, her learned understanding of our culture and climate, and her ability to work with every level of our organization. RJ’s ability to interact and “connect” with a wide array of individuals and roles was significantly impactful, from the board room to the production line. RJ is an articulate professional who is also genuine, caring, and a “real person.”
RJ’s contribution was significantly impactful and we will continue to seek her guidance as we look forward.

Rebecca is a very detail oriented person, who produced great results for our company. She got to know our business and our culture first before diving into the project. That helped to produce results that are right sized and complimentary to our business. She is fun and easy to work with. I look forward to working with her again!

I have been working with Rebecca for two years now. She came to our rescue every single time and we knew we are in good hands if it’s her. :-) I am impressed with the various skill sets Rebecca possesses, from high-level strategic/project planning to complicated excel formulas. All we need to do is to hand over the work and she will make it happen. In addition, she is extremely knowledgeable, organized and ethical. Another important fact that I really appreciate is that she truly listens to her clients, assesses their needs and customizes her work style to meet the needs. It’s never “I only do it this way...”. I strongly recommend Rebecca to anybody who is need of short/long-term compensation consultancy. You won’t be disappointed!

I have known Rebecca as a peer for many years and she is a very respected and trusted colleague. Recently she designed and implemented a global compensation program for HotSchedules, which is a highly dispersed global software company of 600+ employees. She was very successful in delivering a total rewards programs on a tight timeframe and was very well received by our team members across all levels of the company.

She provided insightful market analysis and guidance. Plus she is amazingly fast at analysis, very intelligent, great sense of humor, and always eager to help. Finally, Rebecca is not only smart, but she has a practical common sense approach—and will tell it like it is.

Rebecca possesses the rare ability to grasp the strategic high level and be able to drill drown and execute. Her ability to lead cross-organizational alignment and delivery is extraordinary.

Rebecca is a great partner due to her deep domain knowledge of business and the coming trends to develop and implement compensation solutions that will fit your company and its underlying culture.

I highly recommend her and I have the utmost respect for Rebecca.

We hired Rebecca to determine and audit appropriate compensation levels for Wild Planet’s current executives, given Wild Planet’s revenue size and employee locations. Rebecca pulled together our historical salary, bonus, and equity grant history per employee and benchmarked each against our industry to provide a clear path towards adjusting short term and long term compensation components. The process was clear and concise. We got exactly the information we needed to right-size our compensation packages per management member. I highly recommend Rebecca for anyone working on similar projects.

I started working with Rebecca at SunPower where she was hired to help us revamp and launch our new performance management system. Rebecca immediately immersed herself with the team and was considered an integral part of the team. It was a pleasure to work with her as she imparted her wealth of expertise and knowledge of compensation.
A few years later when I became interim VP of HR at HotChalk, I turned to Rebecca to help design a new compensation plan for our sales team. Rebecca quickly jumped into the challenge. She quickly assessed the culture and built solid relationships with the leadership team. She built an aggressive plan and drove the organization to reach critical decisions. The end results was an innovative compensation plan that was well received. It was Rebecca’s expertise, cool demeanor and warm personality that endears her to every team she supports. I would reach out to Rebecca every time I have a need and highly recommend that any company utilize Rebecca’s expertise if they want to get things done on time and with quality.

I started down the daunting path of setting up an executive compensation package for a key employee in Q3 2019. While I was prepared to create something from scratch, I decided I owed it to Trevor to bring in an expert to help. I really wanted to make sure the compensation package met Trevor’s needs as well as those of the business.

Rebecca Johnson was able to quickly and efficiently guide us through an incredibly complex process in a very short period of time. While the end result was a document, what Rebecca really delivered was a path forward for everyone. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca Johnson.

Rebecca has done a fantastic job working with our many different family business stakeholders. The compensation programs she has designed have helped keep our collective interests aligned, while bringing out the best in each individual. She is easy to work with and quick to respond. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a real professional in the field of Family Business Comp and Comp analysis.

Rebecca was exactly what our firm needed at this important stage of growth. We relied on her experience to bring some best-practices to our organization. Our first real compensation program needed to reflect market realities and be adaptable to the future. It is an important sign to our team of the continuing investment in them and of our continued maturity.

Rebecca is an outstanding compensation consultant. I have used her for various compensation projects and she delivers results that incorporate her business and functional expertise and also reflect her detailed analytical skills. Her professional work experience in Finance, Compensation and HR Generalist roles provide her with a unique ability to solve complex business problems.

Rebecca has been a pleasure to work with. From our initial discussions on compensation plan design on through to process completion, she’s been a complete pro. She listened to our concerns, was quick to grasp our strategy and desired direction, understood the challenges of upgrading an antiquated incentive compensation structure, and successfully helped us link corporate goals to incentive compensation plan design. I’d recommend Rebecca if you’re considering contemporary compensation strategies.

Working with Rebecca (RJ) on the design of our compensation program was a breath of fresh air. As with any project of this scale, we requested proposals from several sources including a few well-known consultancies. We chose to work with RJ because of her practical approach void of unnecessary pomp and circumstance. RJ partnered with our team and delivered on time, within budget, and to an excellent level of quality. I welcome the opportunity to work with RJ again.

I was looking for an expert in completing a comp analysis report, so I reached out to my network and I was recommended to work with Rebecca’s firm, ConsultRJ. Rebecca was a great resource and she really did her due diligence and spent time to learn more about my company as well as the roles we were doing the project for. She provided a great wrap up report that was easy to review and understand and she spent the time to review it with me over the phone and also make some adjustments. She is really well versed in compensation analysis and I would highly recommend her skills and company to others.

I have known RJ as a colleague for many years and until recently had not had the opportunity to work directly with her on a project. Our company had an urgent need for an expert financial/compensation consultant to help manage a global compensation roll out on a very tight schedule. Rebecca stepped in, quickly developed an understanding of the objectives and our business and worked 24/7 until the project was completed. As a result we were able to successfully roll out this critical project on time and with high quality.

I will not hesitate to go to RJ to help us again and would recommend her without reservation!

“I have been working with Rebecca for the last year as we at Think HR have been doing work to get our comp aligned to a market-based model. Rebecca has been magical in how she's partnered and supported us, from broad technical expertise to super detailed operational/implementation work as we rolled out our new model early in 2021. We could not have done this without her. I look forward to continuing to partner with her as we evolve and grow in the coming years. I highly recommend Rebecca!”
