Event | 2023 U.S. Spencer Stuart Board Index

As part of the 2023 U.S. Spencer Stuart Board Index, FW Cook CEO Daniel Ryterband discusses the complexities of CEO compensation with George Anderson of Spencer Stuart, exploring how boards can set and communicate a pay philosophy that works for everyone.

“It’s critical to establish an open dialogue with investors around compensation. This is not a reactive approach to convince investors to ignore possible adverse vote recommendations on Say-on-Pay. Rather, it’s a proactive process in which management and the board explained to shareholders how the compensation program has been constructed to support organizational strategy, to align pay with appropriate performance indicators and create competitive advantage in the market.”
