DAY 2: PRACTITIONER INSIGHTS

Day 2 brings together a series of practitioner-led guides to navigating contemporary sales compensation programmes.

#1: How AI is Shaping the New Sales Incentives Era

Caroline Rocha is Global Sales Compensation Manager at Just Eat Takeaway, the Dutch multinational online food ordering and delivery company. She has worked in global sales incentives and financial strategy for more than 15 years. Caroline reckons the traditional sales incentive model is at a turning point. As we move toward an AI-first culture, the role of incentives must evolve. Her session dives into the dual impact of AI: operational efficiency and the strategic core of plan design.

#2: Beyond Plan Design Maturity — How mature are your sales compensation operations?

Gavin Tapper recently founded SICREON, the first independent knowledge platform purpose-built for sales compensation operations. He develops and runs global sales compensation operations that scale — the kind where sellers trust the system, finance trusts the numbers, and leadership trusts the function to adapt when the strategy changes. He spent over a decade at BMC Software doing exactly that — starting with an operation that needed rebuilding and finishing as an AVP advising on how compensation should connect to business strategy.

His session gives delegates a way to measure where their operations actually stand: a quick, live self-assessment that lets every practitioner benchmark their own programme against a defined set of operational areas.

#3: New to the Role: What no one tells you about taking over a sales compensation function

Martin Hudec leads sales compensation and performance strategy at global enterprise software company Allplan. His experience spans global SaaS environments at Bloomreach, relaunching incentive programmes for private equity-backed companies, and redesigning compensation structures for high-velocity sales teams.

Drawing on his direct experience of entering a comp function mid-change – where a GTM shift had outpaced the plan, data sat across multiple systems, and Finance is applying the pressure for results – his session covers the moves that matter most in the first six to 12 months:

  • Entering the role – orienting fast
  • Checking plan health – a practical diagnostic
  • Meeting stakeholders – building credibility quickly
  • Driving change – from diagnosis to programme
