As independent, partner-led consulting firms, each firm possess the relevant competencies, market intelligence and practical experience needed to assist Boards of Directors and senior management teams in the design and development of effective management compensation programs for companies in North America and Asia.
“Pay for performance in executive compensation is one of the key engines for growth of both the Japanese economy and public companies in general. Japanese public companies need to respond to global institutional shareholders who expect rigorous and transparent pay programs,” Abe said. Adds Park, “Growing interest in pay for performance and transparent disclosure to shareholders around the world make the new Pay Governance affiliation an asset to all of our clients.”
“We see our new affiliation as an enhancement in our ability to serve global corporations,” said John England, a managing partner with Pay Governance. “Naohiko Abe and Ryan Park bring sterling reputations in the field of executive compensation and a dedication to the values of integrity and client service that we share.”
