Our Value Proposition

ECG Advisors advises boards, significant shareholders/investors, and other stakeholders on matters of executive and director compensation and related corporate governance.

Sarbanes-Oxley, related laws and regulations, institutional investors, shareholder groups and scholars in the field are calling for more informed, accountable, objective, and independent "arm's length" dealings regarding matters of pay.

Boards of directors and compensation committees must perform more of their own due diligence in the complex field of executive pay, devoting greater attention, being much more knowledgeable, and asking more pointed questions. No longer can directors defer to each others’ judgment.

Significant shareholders/investors increasingly find themselves overly reliant on a management team that is in the untenable (or "conflicted") position of soliciting and working with advisors who help management make recommendations on its own pay arrangements. The advisors themselves are often in the "conflicted" position of opining on the reasonableness of pay arrangements of managers who retain their firm’s consulting services on other matters.

Senior executives, in their capacity as management, must set aside, now more than ever, any considerations of how pay proposals affect them personally, and focus instead on the best interests of the enterprise and its shareholders.

These parties need advisors to help them evaluate proposals on executive and director pay and corporate governance.  We can help...

Insightful.  Innovative.  Independent.
