Compensation Spotlight

Building a Top Notch Board of Directors

Private Company Board of Director Compensation Report

One common denominator of successful private companies is an outstanding Board of Directors. Yet, staffing a Board is often more difficult at a private company, and the strategy to retain and motivate Board members at private companies is quite different than in public companies. Board compensation at private companies must also align a member’s interests with founders, investors (present and future) and employee shareholders.

The Board of Director role in a private company often is the distinguishing factor of a successful venture. Private company Board members must act independently to safekeep shareholder assets, select and evaluate the Chief Executive Officer, and provide expertise on significant matters of strategy, acquisitions and liquidity.

Syzygy Consulting Group believes that it is critical to achieve independence when determining Board member compensation. Syzygy’s Board of Director compensation report for pre-IPO and private companies is intended to help illuminate market-based Board of Director compensation practices.
