What I Do

Four Areas of
Focused Expertise

Whether you are allocating capital, running a portfolio rationalization, or navigating an enterprise HCM evaluation or implementation — I provide the independent, senior-level guidance that internal teams rarely have and consultancies rarely specialize in.

01
Institutional Investor Advisory

I brief hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, and asset managers on the HCM market landscape — competitive dynamics, vendor positioning, product roadmaps, and the strategic risks facing major players — so you can deploy capital with conviction.

Investors & Funds
02
PE Portfolio Technology Strategy

I advise private equity firms on HCM platform selection for portfolio-wide standardization — analyzing fit, cost of migration, vendor risk, and long-term scalability across your subsidiaries so your operating thesis holds.

Private Equity
03
HCM Software Evaluation

I guide organizations through structured HCM platform evaluations — building requirements frameworks, running competitive RFP processes, and advising on Dayforce, Workday, SAP, Oracle, UKG, ADP, and others — without vendor bias.

Enterprise Organizations
04
Implementation Advisory

I sit alongside your team during HCM implementations — keeping projects on track, bridging communication between internal stakeholders and vendors, and leveraging direct platform experience to navigate complexity before it becomes cost overruns.

About

A Decade Built
Inside the Industry

My career in HCM began at Dayforce — then Ceridian — in 2014. Over the following decade I held roles spanning product consulting, corporate marketing leadership, and enterprise sales across Canada, the United States, and Europe. I helped take Dayforce public in 2018 in what was the largest Canadian tech IPO in history.

Today, operating independently through Cavalieri Strategies, I bring that insider depth to investors and organizations who need a perspective that no vendor or generalist firm can provide. I hold dual Canadian and Italian citizenship, with active enterprise experience across North American and European markets.
