The Woman Behind Lotus
I’m an 8x-certified People Technology Director recognized among LinkedIn’s Top 50 Women in Workday. I’ve led HR technology strategy across high-growth startups, global enterprises, and PE-backed firms—navigating IPO readiness, M&A integrations, and global expansions in 30+ countries.
Track record:
$4M+ in automation value delivered
1M+ in vendor spend eliminated
Led implementations & system consolidations across 20+ tech stacks
Guided enterprises through IPO, M&A, and post-acquisition stabilization
I built Lotus Welle Advisory for one reason: too many companies scale with over-engineered, disconnected systems that don’t match the speed of their growth.
We’re not implementers. We’re not body shop contractors.
We are strategic partners who stabilize your architecture, protect your investment, and design frameworks for scale.
Buy outcomes, not hours.
Most Companies Don’t Know What They Don’t Know
Up to 70% of HR technology implementations fail to deliver expected ROI due to poor planning, weak governance, and misaligned architecture.
HRIS Governance = Protection
Companies without governance frameworks fail 70% of audits
Lotus Welle designs controls that protect against risk before the auditors arrive
Architecture = Speed
Poor architecture adds 30–50% more hours to every enhancement
We ensure your system is built to scale, not collapse under growth
Stabilization = Savings
Post-go-live fire drills burn out your teams and balloon vendor spend
Our stabilization roadmaps save millions in hidden costs & fines
