The Silicon Valley 135: Advising the Compensation Committee
Compensia continuously monitors the executive compensation practices of the largest 135 high-technology and life sciences companies with headquarters in the Silicon Valley (a group that we call the Silicon Valley 135).
Since 2007, companies have been required to identify any advisors that have a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of their executive and director compensation. A recent survey of the Silicon Valley 135 found that Compensia was the advisor to over one-quarter of the Board Compensation Committees that indicated that they had engaged an advisor (30 companies).
