Commitment to Clients

I am passionate about delivering thoughtful, tailored solutions to address clients' executive pay and governance needs in a manner that is easily understandable by all stakeholders and that promotes the strong alignment of pay and strategy. Honesty, responsiveness, and professionalism are the foundation on which I build my client relationships over time. These attributes help to enable organizations to not only easily satisfy regulatory requirements and public optics concerns, but they result in effective pay and governance practices that encourage the recruitment, retention, and engagement of executive talent.
