We know the market. And the marketplace.
Some firms specialize in executive compensation strategy, governance and technical matters. Others concentrate on plan operations and administration. We do both. We understand the rules governing global equity and incentive compensation plans, as well as the functionality of the vendor platforms that support them. As a result, we’re able to offer an inherently holistic approach to executive compensation planning.
