MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. - In response
to significant new business growth, Weichert Relocation Resources Inc. (WRRI),
one of Canada’s leading relocation, cross-border and assignment management
companies, announced that it has deepened its Canadian-based global workforce
mobility expertise with the addition of three new colleagues: Peter Cloutier,
Client Service Manager; Susan Ghavam, Senior Assignment Counselor; and Susan
Salim, Senior Assignment Counselor.
These
colleagues join Assignment Counselor Tamara Dykes in WRRI’s Toronto office to form an in-house global
mobility team with over 50 years of combined assignment management,
international HR, immigration, tax compliance and compensation experience.
“As our
client roster continues to expand and the needs of globally relocating
employees become more complex, our in-house subject matter expertise, in all
areas of global mobility, is even more critical to our success,” said Mike
LeQuier, WRRI’s Regional Vice President, Canada. “Augmenting our already
strong Toronto-based team with this new talent provides us with a powerful
combination of fresh industry perspectives and proven experience that will
enhance our reputation as the leader in assignment management and expatriate
administration.”
Peter
Cloutier has over 10 years of assignment management experience, having
previously worked in the International Assignment Services division of Deloitte
& Touche. He has worked extensively in tax compliance consulting for global
assignees, and has served as a key advisor to multinational corporations
concerning development and administration of global tax, payroll and tax
equalization policies.
Susan
Ghavam previously served for seven years as a global mobility specialist with
PricewaterhouseCoopers in Toronto and the UK. She also
has experience in managing candidate selection, pre-move preparation and
cross-cultural training.
Susan Salim
has over 20 years of experience with CIBC/EDS, where she focused on global
payroll, mortgages and compensation. Her expertise also encompasses
immigration, tax compliance and balance sheet calculation.
Tamara
Dykes has nine years of global mobility management experience, having
previously served as Senior Consultant with KMPG and Arthur Andersen in Toronto, where she
focused on immigration law compliance.
“In
addition to their wealth of knowledge in all areas of global workforce
mobility, these employees bring a strong track record for innovation and a
