Compensation Benchmarking
We specialize in peer-group executive and director compensation benchmarking, utilizing both publicly available and proprietary salary data. Our peer groups are meticulously selected based on company size, market cap and asset value, geography, growth phase, and other factors.
Compensation Strategy
For four decades, we have provided independent advice to public and private companies on all aspects of executive and board compensation strategy, including salary structure and incentive pay, long-term incentives and share plans, termination and change in control provisions, and employee share purchase plans.

We guide organizations through the full spectrum of compensation governance, ensuring compliance, reducing risk, and reinforcing shareholder confidence.
Our insights are based in industry best practices, helping build credibility with boards, investors, and advisory firms.
Compensation Policy
We help align your compensation policy with organisational goals and strategic priorities, clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders (e.g. the Compensation Committee, Board of Directors, institutional investors).
