What started as a small, two-person team in a single office has evolved into one of the fastest-growing teams at Amesto Global. Today, our Global Payroll Team spans the United States, Spain and Ireland, with five talented women driving our success. Each member brings a wealth of expertise and a deep commitment to simplifying business operations for our clients, helping businesses navigate the complexities of global payroll with precision. 

What truly sets this team apart isn’t just their growth, but the way they work together. Despite their diverse backgrounds, languages and various time zones, they share a common goal: to provide seamless, compliant and client-centric payroll services, no matter how complex the challenge. From the outset, the team has focused on building systems and processes that not only deliver exceptional payroll services worldwide but also reflect Amesto Global’s commitment to an inclusive, supportive and innovative workplace.  

As Carla Giombi, Global Payroll Specialist based in Spain, puts it: “Our team's diversity brings a wealth of perspectives, allowing us to navigate complex payroll regulations with a more adaptable and innovative approach. Collaborating across different countries and cultures enhances our problem-solving, strengthens our communication, and helps us anticipate challenges before they arise.” This ability to approach challenges from multiple angles has proven invaluable, enabling the team to provide tailored, efficient payroll solutions that meet the diverse needs of clients across the globe.

Diversity isn’t just a buzzword in our payroll team, it’s a competitive advantage. With a blend of different cultures and work experiences, each member brings a unique perspective to the table. This shapes the team’s approach to problem-solving and fostering creativity in navigating complex payroll regulations. It also strengthens their client relationships, as they tailor solutions that reflect a deep understanding of various global needs. The blend of experience across countries and industries enables the team to think outside the box, anticipate challenges and create solutions that go beyond expectations. 

Nicole Hinrichsen, Senior Manager of Payroll and HR Administration based in Ireland, emphasizes this: “Different backgrounds cause each of us to problem-solve with a different line of thinking. Not only linked to our own nationality but in combination of our nationality, working culture & experience. Diversity like ours can be a great thing for innovative problem-solving.” 

This diversity is also reflected in the relationships the team builds with clients. Jessica Kestler, US Payroll Specialist based in the US, highlights how this collaboration benefits clients: “Instead of juggling multiple providers, our clients have one dedicated point of contact, backed by our team’s jurisdictional knowledge and support. It keeps things simple for our clients and makes for a smooth process.” 

Payroll is one of the most personal aspects of a business. It directly affects people’s ability to provide for their families, pay their bills and plan their futures. Our Payroll team understands this responsibility and approaches their work with empathy and precision, knowing that a single error could have far-reaching consequences. 

Nicole shares: “We understand that any mistake we make has a direct impact on someone’s family so this helps us in maintaining open communication with each other to reach our common goal.” This deeper level of care has become a defining characteristic of the team. Carla explains: “The key is constant and effective communication between the payroll partner and the client. Through these conversations, I’ve learned so much about regulations and cultural nuances that I can share with the team for future opportunities.” 

Beyond ensuring compliance and efficiency, the team understands that payroll is not just about numbers, it’s about people. Their work impacts employees’ livelihoods, and they take this responsibility seriously. By proactively educating clients on payroll processes, they not only provide solutions but also empower businesses to better understand their obligations and opportunities. 

Alicja Oryl, Global Payroll Specialist based in Ireland, adds: “I’m proud to have built personal relationships with our clients through consistent, friendly communication. It's about truly understanding their needs and providing the best possible solutions. Our Global Payroll team shares this same commitment to fostering strong, lasting relationships with every client. It’s a privilege to be part of a team that values connection as much as we do results.” 

The ability to anticipate challenges before they arise is another strength of this team. Silvia Pascuet, Global Payroll & HR Admin Specialist based in Spain, adds: “We don’t just react to payroll issues; we actively work to prevent them. With team members in multiple countries, we stay up to date with the latest regulatory changes and payroll requirements, ensuring compliance no matter the jurisdiction.” This proactive approach helps mitigate risk and fosters trust among clients, positioning the team as not just service providers but trusted partners in business growth. 

One of the team’s greatest achievements has been breaking down silos within payroll and across departments. By fostering open communication, they ensure a seamless experience for clients, no matter where they are in the world. 

Silvia explains: “Even though we are in different countries, we work closely together. Our teamwork and commitment help us stay efficient and focused, proving that we are stronger when we work together.” 

To maintain this strong collaboration, the team uses shared communication tools and regular knowledge-sharing sessions. Jessica notes: “A year ago, payroll felt siloed. Now, we have integrated communication tools and a shared chat, ensuring everyone stays informed. This has strengthened our teamwork and made processes more efficient.” 

Nicole adds: “We make sure any team member can pick up a payroll task at any time. There’s no information hoarding—our success comes from open collaboration.” 

The journey doesn’t stop here. As Amesto Global’s Payroll team continues to expand, they are focused on refining processes, enhancing service offerings and remaining at the forefront of global payroll solutions. With a strong foundation in place, the team is poised to tackle even greater challenges and opportunities in the future. 

Silvia shares: “We are focused on expanding our client base and developing the HR Admin department. I’m looking forward to seeing our department grow and the potential for new team members to join us. This would be a great indicator that our workload is increasing, and it reflects the trust and success of our services as we continue to scale.” 

Nicole envisions continued growth: “We’re expanding both in team members and in the seamless management of our payroll clients. Benefits will be a big focus for the coming year as we enhance our service offering.” 

Our Global Payroll Team is a powerful example of what women in business can achieve when empowered and supported. Their commitment to excellence drives transformation, not just within the company but also for clients across the globe. As they continue to innovate and grow, their impact will be felt for years to come. This International Women’s Month, we celebrate their leadership, resilience and the incredible contributions they bring to Amesto Global each day.
