I am currently the Head of Benefits & Mobility at Schlumberger, after having previously been in charge of HR for France. I have been working for Schlumberger for 17 years, including 7 years as an expatriate in various roles within the HR function, which both stimulates and challenges me! I have had the opportunity to hold 10 different positions in France, Singapore, Malaysia, and Cameroon, in generalist HR roles as well as in compensation and benefits.

My skills include managing compensation and benefits, C&B integration projects, social relations, negotiations, and talent management. I enjoy challenges, working with great teams, experiencing human and cultural adventures, and stepping out of my comfort zone to satisfy my curiosity.

My personal mission is to bring out the best of them and to those around them - so that everyone can reach their full potential.To help me in this mission, I am developing as a coach- so that I can support people in their personal and professional journey to become who they can and want to be.
 

Reiko Kubota

Head of Global Benefits, Fidelity International

Reiko heads up Global Benefits in Fidelity International and for the past five years has focused on the creative use of benefits as an attractive engagement and communication tool through leveraging the technological capability. Reiko began her career in pensions and benefits management in the financial industry and over the 20 years, expanded her scope from the UK, where she is based, to EMEA, APAC and India, leading strategic direction with particular attention to global framework and local sensitivity.

In the post pandemic world, where benefits professionals are having to work at pace to develop strategy to respond to environmental, economic and demographic changes in the workforce, Reiko believes that benefits opens up opportunities for the employers to make a statement about their cultural authenticity which will resonate with the emerging trend in employees having renewed priorities in life.
