Armina is a rockstar with unparalleled expertise in Comp. In my new role at Okta, she was a driving force in bringing me up to speed quickly. Armina’s work ethic is admirable and she always meets her commitments (whatever it takes). I worked closely with Armina on compensation committee projects and her advice/support was impeccable. She knows how to do her research, present business cases and move proposals to approval by gaining buy-in. I consider myself lucky to be able to work with Armina.
