About Rahil Shaikh

Simplifying Sales Commissions. Amplifying Performance. One automated process at a time." Hi, I’m Rahil For over 12 years, I’ve lived and breathed Sales Commissions, Ops, and Process Automation —translating messy, complex comp plans into clean, scalable systems that actually work. I've worked across EMEA, APAC, and ANZ with fast-scaling companies who were stuck in spreadsheets, tangled in disputes, or just overwhelmed by outdated commission processes. My job? Bring clarity. Cut the noise. Build systems that people can trust. Here’s what I bring to the table: • Cutting manual effort by 30% through smart automation • Driving 100% SOX compliance across global payout processes • Reducing payout disputes and errors by 20% • Mentoring teams to scale with clarity and consistency • Partnering with Sales, Finance, HR & Payroll to align goals and get things done Key Wins & Client Impact: Fixing the Friction: One client’s sales reps were constantly chasing down their commissions, frustrated by delays and errors. I overhauled their process using Xactly and automated 90% of manual steps—cutting payout time by weeks and restoring trust across the board. Scaling with Smarts: As the business expanded across EMEA and APAC, their commission logic didn’t keep up. I was a part of the team that redesigned their multi-tier structure to be audit-ready, dispute-resistant, and region-friendly—cutting reconciliation time by 25% and ensuring everyone got paid right, on time. SOX, but Make It Smooth: Audit season doesn’t have to mean panic. I led SOX audit prep for a global client, streamlined documentation, and implemented controls that passed with zero findings—saving stress and serious money. Training That Sticks: Instead of just managing a team, I built one. Designed analyst onboarding and training programs that didn’t just check boxes—they boosted team efficiency by 30% and created a bench of confident, capable talent. I love making complex things simple—whether it's a tangled comp plan, an automation opportunity, or just figuring out “why isn’t this working?” If you're dealing with messy commission logic, payout chaos, or looking to future-proof your process—let’s connect. Always up for a virtual coffee and a good conversation about comp strategy, automation, or ops wins.
