About Us
We’re dedicated to bringing insight, control, and expanded capability to your compensation strategy.
Disclose your executive compensation decisions thoroughly and persuasively.
The proxy is both a legal document and a marketing document that explains to shareholders how you arrived at your named executive officer (NEO) compensation decisions. Institutional investors, proxy advisors, activists, and the media all use information from this document to evaluate your company’s executive compensation.
With so much new regulation, today’s proxy has, on average, more than five times the page count than it did just 10 years ago. But this expanding girth has made it harder for key messages to stand out. A picture is worth a thousand words, and a table can convey more information than ten paragraphs of text.
Let us help you bring clarity to your proxy through the use of visualization, quantitative analytics, and framing of your story and the key business reasons that support it.
