We’re excited to share some big news: Michael Pilnick is joining Greatpoint HR as an advisor, and we honestly couldn’t be more thrilled.
If you work in HR or compensation, you probably already know Michael’s name. He’s spent years helping executive teams, boards, and global HR organizations rethink how they approach talent, analytics, and people strategy. He’s led transformation at companies like First Advantage and Wolters Kluwer, steered complex talent models, and built human-capital frameworks before most companies even knew they needed them.
But here’s what matters most to us:
That combination is rare - and exactly what we want as we continue to grow.
What Michael Will Help Us Unlock
Having Michael as an advisor isn’t just about having a “big name” on the website. It’s about giving Greatpoint HR additional support, insight, and perspective to scale smarter and faster.
Here’s what his guidance will help us achieve:
1. Build even more powerful, real-world compensation tools
Michael has been the CHRO in the room, the executive at the table, and the advisor behind the scenes.
He knows where comp teams struggle, what they need in a pinch, and what data actually moves decisions.
His experience will help us sharpen our platform and make it even more practical, insightful, and actionable.
2. Deepen our strategic value for enterprise clients
As compensation becomes more connected to pay equity, talent mobility, and retention, leaders need solutions that feel strategic, not just operational.
Michael’s background in human-capital analytics and evolving talent ecosystems gives us a stronger lens to help clients tackle these bigger conversations.
3. Stay ahead of where the industry is heading (fast)
With AI transforming HR and comp faster than ever, Michael’s work on AI-enabled talent operating models and human-capital scorecards will help us push our product thinking forward - responsibly and creatively.
4. Scale with the sophistication our clients expect
Greatpoint is growing quickly. Michael has helped guide companies through hyper-growth before, and he knows how to keep teams aligned, grounded, and customer-obsessed during that climb.
From Michael
“Greatpoint HR is making compensation strategy more intelligent, transparent, and mission-driven. Their data-centric platform has the potential to shift how organizations think about reward strategy. I’m excited to help accelerate their value proposition, market expansion, and client impact.”
We feel exactly the same way.
What This Means for Greatpoint HR
As we continue building a modern, adaptive compensation platform, adding voices like Michael’s ensures we stay anchored to what truly matters:
We’re so grateful to have him on board - and incredibly excited for what’s ahead.
