20 Day Positioning challenge starts 24th august. find out more.
I have been on both sides of the messy exit you are now facing.
For Directors, VPs and MDs navigating redundancy, an exit, or just the question of what comes next.
Why can I help you?
I was Head of Technology Reward at UBS, responsible for 24,000 people. Before that, Head of Technology HR at Credit Suisse. I helped build the lists. I ran the committees. I know exactly how these decisions get made.
I know what is actually negotiable. I know how you will be read in the market. I know what comes next.
Where are you right now?
"I am moving on, and working out what comes next."
You leave with a sharp narrative, a compensation anchor, and a clear read on how the market values you.
"I am thinking about leaving, have been notified, or I can see it coming."
You want to understand the terrain before anything lands in writing. What is negotiable, what to sign, what to push back on, and how these exits are run from the inside.
"My situation is more complicated than one box."
Overlapping pressures, a messy exit, or a call you cannot afford to get wrong.
You have an offer on the table. I can tell you what it is actually worth.
Before you sign, you want to know what the bank is obliged to pay against what it has put in front of you. Unvested awards, deferred comp, notice, garden leave, good-leaver treatment. I ran the committees that decided these outcomes. I know how the number is built and where it flexes. Send me the package and I will tell you where it is standard, where it is light, and the two or three moves that change it. Written verdict and a full walkthrough within 72 hours.

"After decades in senior leadership, returning to the job market felt like navigating an entirely different world. Lisa provided the frank, honest feedback I needed to successfully reposition my executive profile. For any senior leader looking to navigate a major career pivot with confidence, Lisa is an invaluable partner."
Ather, Client, Global Technology and Infrastructure Leader
"I worked with Lisa on a recent career move and I couldn't recommend her more. Her previous corporate experience combined with excellent coaching skills add huge value for anyone acting on a major career decision. I will also continue working with Lisa in my new role."
Gemma, Client, Head of Observability, LSE Group
"I worked with Lisa Mayer over several months during a career transition, and it was genuinely useful. She brought an independent, outside read on my experience and how it holds up in the market, a well-benchmarked perspective that's hard to get from inside your own network. She was also a sharp sounding board, pressure-testing my thinking and sharpening how I frame my work across my CV, LinkedIn, and conversations with hiring managers. She helped me think through the transition itself with a clear head, including how to communicate it well. Structured sessions, clear written follow-ups, and direct, practical advice throughout. I'd recommend her to anyone navigating a significant career move who wants an experienced outside perspective in their corner."
Peter, Client, Executive Director
