Complex executive compensation or governance problems aren’t tough to solve when you work with MDG.

Here are just a few of the issues we’ve worked with customers to better understand:

  • 10-year historical burn rates for multiple defined peer groups
  • Examples of companies that modified long-term incentive performance goals during the performance period
  • Prevalence of ESG metrics in short-term incentive plans
  • Companies with executive chairs and how their compensation compares versus the company's CEO
  • Average number of performance metrics in short-term incentive programs within a specified industry
  • Compensation of CEOs during the first year in the role, specifically internal versus external hires
  • Benchmark executive and board compensation at IPO companies
  • Prevalence of mega-grants and how they are structured
  • Comparison of CEO actual bonus payouts versus target for the S&P 500

The best part of working with MDG is their collaborative approach: making recommendations on how to best query/structure the data and confirming I understand the resulting output of what my queries may yield."
