Lisa Goggin — Global Mobility Lead, Canva

Lisa led a whole-of-program reset at Canva, shifting from a one-size-fits-all approach to a scalable, capped core-flex model guided by “people first” design. She paired rigorous discovery (200+ surveys/interviews) with a cross-functional “stakeholder road trip” to align Finance (forecasting), TA (simplicity), leaders (IPO-readiness) and employees (choice and equity). Outcomes included 34% cost savings, 1.55x greater dollar value in packages, and ~20 hours per week returned to the team through automation—while improving the employee experience with empathetic, human-led support from a new relocation partner. Lisa’s submission demonstrates subject-matter depth (challenging spend myths, leading an RFP grounded in experience not just automation) and clear people-centred leadership that made mobility a true talent enabler for a fast-scaling, global company.
