Female CEO compensation

Forbes published this article about female CEO compensation. Markets often get a rap for being impersonal (it’s just about the money) but impersonal interactions, by definition, overcome discrimination. Women still suffer from discrimination in the work place, but relentless demand for better talent is arguably driving up their numbers in the C-suite.

My favorite part of the article, however, is their quote from “Mike Hodak.” No, my brother doesn’t even work with me. I suppose it’s natural to blame one’s parents for such things. After all, they felt compelled to name all their sons starting with “M.” Mike, Marc…an understandable confusion in a phone interview. Of course, the author of this story couldn’t have known that Mike exists, except that he thought it was me. Alas, I don’t mind sharing the limelight with my family.
