NCEO LinkedIn Network Reviews Recent Studies and Thinking on Executive Equity Pay

NCEO founder and senior staff member

A new Presidio Pay Advisors study has found that executive equity ownership among company founders has declined in pre-IPO companies. For a link to the study, log into the NCEO Employee Stock Ownership Network on LinkedIn and under the "News" tab, look for the item "New Study Reveals Sharp Decline in Founder CEO Stock Ownership at IPO." We encourage people to sign up for the rapidly growing group (i.e., the NCEO Employee Stock Ownership Network) and to invite others to do so as well. Also posted to the group was a link to a proposal to escrow some portion of executive equity compensation for some defined period of years; under the "News" tab, look for the item "Incentives for the Long Run."
