30 employees across 5 countries and 3 subs with Boundless
Have 2-3000 workers globally
HQ: UK, entities in some countries globally, EOR in others
Originally from Australia, relocated to the UK
25 years’ experience working with entrepreneurial leaders
focused on bringing a strong commercial edge to the HR function
wasn’t a believer in EOR until she started working with Boundless and is a champion of our company due to trust built over a long relationship
Counsel subsidiaries so they understand the value of great global/remote people practices and diverse thinking in high growth organisations
Avoid pushback from subsidiaries around EOR that have already been made, e.g. - pricing, CS issues, lack of coverage, recent push from a sub to move to direct employment in Portugal
Visibility over all HR related data, payments, contracts etc across all subsidiaries
At certain concentrations of employees in one geography (~50) to open up options for alternatives to EOR, due to cost drivers

500 global employees
UK based
Worked in Group and Global HR roles for over 10 years
Keeps CPD up to date and enjoys learning in new areas
Very invested in the commercial success of the companies she works with gravitates focus towards culture and employee engagement
Unhappy with Boundless at the moment and believes that our platform is behind the market
Reduce manual porting of data between HR systems, and Boundless. They run everything through their HRIS (Personio) and porting data to Boundless leads to mistakes
Ensure that they are remunerating employees in accordance with local and global standards
Ensure that employees feel like they are being treated equitably
Would like to have the most competitive and broad range of benefits available to all their employees but in particular feel that Boundless supported employees are at a disadvantage with benefits optionality
Wants hand-holding when making decisions on how best to rollout for workers new countries

1400 current worker numbers
Background in accountancy before moving into business leadership roles
Started career 1999 in Ernst and Young
Is wary of the EOR space based on bad actors and PE risk however, started using Papaya as a means to shut down costly entities
Have had a very bad experience with Papaya - slow rollout, slow support, and have started to ditch EOR completely
Previously have been fined for having a non-compliant contractor in France. Do not want to repeat this
Compliant global expansion in the most cost efficient way possible
Avoid cost of running entities for countries with lower employee numbers
Support both contractors and employees
