Karl McKenna

Karl McKenna

Consulting Manager

Karl joined NLC Payroll as a Payroll Administrator in 2015, when the team was just three people. As the team grew, Karl transitioned to manage the Outsourced Payroll team for a short period of time, before leaning into his natural strengths and stepping into the role of Account Manager. Despite the shift, he found himself drawn into consulting, loving the challenge of leading big projects (remediations, implementations or data migration). His current role as Consulting Manager is a perfect blend of his expertise in both client engagement and consulting.

Karl is kept on his toes by his two young boys. When he does find some downtime, he enjoys watching football and listening to music.
