Meet Carrie
Carrie Tassin
Carrie has over 15 years of experience in total rewards and people operations. Her journey into the field began after graduating from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations with a focus on Human Resources Management, where her fondness for spreadsheets and numbers guided her toward a career in compensation. Seeking to enhance her expertise in employment law, she received a law degree from Columbia University School of Law and practiced as an attorney for several years. However, her genuine passion for HR, particularly in compensation and total rewards, led her back to the field where she has been happily focused ever since.
As a self-proclaimed “compensation nerd,” Carrie has had the privilege of working with dozens of organizations as a total rewards leader or consultant, helping them optimize their compensation and benefits strategies to drive employee satisfaction and business success. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of collaborating with executives and boards to design comprehensive total rewards programs, encompassing both broad-based and executive-focused initiatives.
Carrie currently lives in Denver, Colorado with her spouse and two energetic children. She works remotely from her home office with clients around the globe.
Client Testimonials
Suchada Stevens, Head of People
“Carrie is hands-down the most talented compensation professional I've ever worked with. She is incredibly knowledgeable and creative. Compensation is an art and a science, and Carrie expertly balances financial realities with practical applications. She is organized and has a high bar for how she presents information. She was able to create clear, user-friendly tools that non-compensation professionals can easily navigate and utilize. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
