Executive compensation partner Jean McLoughlin discusses how boards can effectively leverage executive pay to retain talent while minimizing reputational and regulatory risks in M&A deals in the National Association of Corporate Directors’ blog, NACD BoardTalk. In the article, Jean discusses the importance of connecting DE&I and ESG metrics to broader company strategy, evaluating the impact of inflation and market volatility on executive pay, and balancing retention priorities with stakeholder interests.
“Executive compensation is rarely a simple formula, and the stakes are high to get it right—especially in M&A,” Jean writes. “But with their nuanced understanding of a company, its management team, and the market at large, boards are in an excellent position to use compensation as a valuable tool for guiding their organizations to long-term success.”
