How we designed a total remuneration package for the CEO of a Middle East-based strategy consulting firm
The client sought to establish a competitive remuneration package for its CEO, ensuring alignment with prevailing market standards. Given the firm’s presence in the Middle East, benchmarking against similarly sized strategy consulting firms in the region was a key priority. Vencon Research was tasked with developing a tailored compensation structure to meet these objectives.
Problem
Challenges faced by the company:
- Lack of understanding of CEO’s compensation relative to market norms poses a threat.
- Below-market pay could lead to disengagement and departure.
- Need to balance CEO’s compensation with other Senior Partners in the company.
Implication
- Assess CEO’s compensation adequacy in comparison to industry standards.
- Compare CEO’s compensation to Senior or Managing Partners at competitor firms and within the company.
Solution
Vencon Research's approach:
- Thorough evaluation of CEO’s compensation package.
- Comparison to industry benchmarks.
- Analysis of relative positioning compared to peers.
Result: recommended CEO compensation package aligning remuneration with market norms for competitiveness and motivation while maintaining fairness in relation to Senior Partners in the company.
