Executive compensation: how to attract, reward and retain key talent
Life science company focus
Is your current executive compensation package designed to attract, reward and retain key executives? Do you ever wonder how it compares to the industry standard or your competitors' packages? What may be the impact of the current credit and capital market changes on compensation?
In a period that has seen venture capital investment in the technology and life science sectors steadily increase with many new companies being formed, the competition for desired executive talent also is experiencing increased pressure. For the past 10 years, in conjunction with Harvard Business School, Ernst & Young, WilmerHale and J. Robert Scott have completed separate comprehensive compensation surveys of venture-backed technology and life sciences companies. This year, the surveys received nearly 500 responses from venture-backed companies across the US.
Join us on 7 November, as a distinguished panel including representatives from Ernst & Young, WilmerHale and J. Robert Scott discuss the survey findings as well as other timely topics related to the market and legal and tax issues involving executive compensation. The panel will review the correlation between executive compensation and a number of variables, including financing stage, company size in terms of revenue and headcount, founder/non-founder status, industry segment and geography.
