In the competition to fill top positions, some companies will pay whatever it takes to get their ideal candidate into the CEO’s chair. Coca-Cola recently created a stir with its new stock option plan, which equates to a dramatic pay increase for Coke’s top executives. While the plan passed, it was controversial and continues to draw investor criticism. Warren Buffett called it “excessive”—yet declined to vote against it—and shareholders who voted for it represented fewer than half of the company’s outstanding shares. Is there a culture of excessive executive pay in corporate America, or are highly paid CEOs earning their keep?
Join us at our next Spotlight Series discussion on June 3 to find out whether companies and shareholders are getting what they pay for.

The Digital Business Dream Team:
How the CIO and CMO Collaborate for Success
Where “marketing” once meant direct mail or printed brochures, today it can mean anything from social media or email campaigns to dynamic web content and customer analytics. As marketing efforts grow ever more integrated with and dependent on technology, information technology and marketing teams have entered a new realm of collaboration and interdependence, and chief information officers and chief marketing officers carry equal weight in decisions about technology assets and Big Data. Join our panel of IT and marketing experts, at our next Spotlight Series breakfast, to learn how CIOs and CMOs are working together to manage budgets, mitigate risk and ensure the success of digital business efforts.
This event is by invitation only.
