Executive compensation and leadership consultancy Pearl Meyer announced three new promotions to managing director: Malcolm Adkins, Matt Depp, and Sharon Podstupka.

The data show that median total compensation for CEOs rose 9.8% from $16.1 million in 2023 to $17.7 million in 2024, and that performance-based stock awards continue to be the primary vehicle for long-term incentive compensation.

Executive compensation and leadership consultancy Pearl Meyer announced it has completed its System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) Type I report, signifying rigorous data security practices. The SOC 2 security and compliance framework was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) specifically for services firms.

Pearl Meyer has published recent survey results indicating “cautious optimism” amongst those responding to the firm’s annual questionnaire on corporate performance and executive pay.

In his new role, Turner leads the executive and broad-based practices of the firm, and will guide the firm’s established team of compensation consultants. He will also continue to serve clients in his capacity as a compensation expert. Turner succeeds Pete Lupo, who will continue to work with clients until his retirement at the end of 2024 after a distinguished career.

Pearl Meyer announced today that it has acquired Blake Street Group (BSG), a boutique consultancy providing human capital due diligence, organizational readiness, and leadership development to private equity firms and their portfolio companies.

With more than 16 years of experience at Pearl Meyer, Herand specializes in incentive plan design and in technical advisory work related to tax, accounting, and SEC regulatory and compliance issues.

Sixty percent have or plan to develop a change management strategy and almost 20% are thinking about executive compensation incentives.
