Commitment to Clients
The most significant challenge for any executive compensation consultant is to keep a clear and unbiased approach to providing advice regardless of the circumstances. I strive to always provide views based on what is best for the organization. I will outline shareholder, proxy advisory firm policies, and other significant considerations that need to be recognized in assessing those views, but my advice will always be grounded in what is best for the organization.
