As part of our Compensation Services, we advise owners and Boards of Directors or their Compensation Committee in all areas of executive board compensation.
Leveraging our deep market expertise and following a strategic and data-driven approach, we ensure informed expert guidance across various facets of executive pay, including the design of variable compensation systems such as short-term incentives (STI) and long-term incentives (LTI). Both listed clients and private companies rely on us for comprehensive reviews of current compensation schemes and the design of effective executive pay packages.
