Andreea uses maXzie to bring structure and transparency to the variable part of pay: bonuses, commissions, performance allowances and incentive schemes, which are often the hardest element of a reward system to govern. In her international engagements, the software gives her and her clients a single, auditable platform to design, calculate and communicate variable compensation consistently across markets, supporting both pay-equity goals and readiness for the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
Andreea helps growing and international organisations design, implement and govern variable compensation programmes. Where appropriate, she uses maXzie to provide clients with a transparent, auditable platform for managing bonuses, commissions and incentive schemes across multiple countries.
Her work combines strategic advice with hands-on delivery. She has built compensation and benefits frameworks for companies hiring in new markets, aligned salary structures, benefits and job architecture following M&A transactions, and optimised benefits spend. In one engagement she identified more than €700,000 in benefits the company no longer needed to pay, and renegotiated vendor agreements to cut annual benefits costs by over €70,000 while maintaining employee value. She also helps organisations strengthen compensation governance, documentation and manager readiness ahead of the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
Compensation & Benefits Consultant
Founder, Meaningful Consulting
Meaningful Consulting is Andreea Lupu's independent Compensation & Benefits advisory, working with growing and international organisations. Clients typically engage her when they are expanding into new countries, integrating an acquisition, redesigning their reward strategy or preparing for new regulations.
She works in three models: fractional partnership for companies that need senior C&B expertise without hiring a full-time specialist, project-based consulting for clearly defined initiatives with agreed objectives and timelines, and strategic advisory for leadership teams making important compensation and benefits decisions. As an independent advisor, she recommends technology solutions based on each client's business requirements and reward strategy.
