A major regional real estate developer recalibrates its executive and board compensation

The situation

A major real estate developer in the Middle East was reviewing executive and board-level compensation against the market. The aim was to ensure compensation packages remained competitive for leadership acquisition and retention, anchored in real benchmark data rather than gut judgment. The deliverable had to be credible to a Chairperson and CEO audience.

What we delivered

Our founder supported the investigative analysis underpinning the compensation packages and contributed to the benchmarking work against industry-standard compensation data. The work produced compensation structures calibrated to market benchmarks across executive and board levels, with a methodology that exposed the assumptions and comparisons rather than presenting conclusions as opaque outputs.

The result

The compensation packages and supporting analysis were presented to the Chairperson, CEO, and senior executive audiences. The work demonstrates the discipline to build a recommendation that holds up at Chairperson and CEO level, and the comfort presenting at that altitude when the question is consequential.
