Over the past decade, several companies have been recognized as “Most Admired,” “Best Performing,” “Best Company to Work For,” and “Fastest Growing.” What is less visible is the role executive compensation plays in building these award-winning “G.O.A.T.” organizations.

Chris Crawford of Zayla Partners, a Gallagher company, spotlights the executive compensation best practices these companies use to achieve and sustain greatness.

Mr. Crawford has 25 years of strategic compensation and corporate governance consulting experience with Fortune 50 public companies, private institutions and not-for-profit organizations. Mr. Crawford’s advice to over 500 corporate boards provides him with uniquely seasoned experiences to help companies navigate challenging micro and macro conditions.

While leading Mr. Crawford’s prior consulting firm, he served as co-founder and president where the firm received several awards such as Best Places to Work in Texas (Texas Monthly Magazine) for 10 years and twice #1, Top Consultancies in the US (Consulting Magazine) and America’s Top Management Consultancies (Forbes Magazine). The sale of that firm was successfully completed in 2020.

Now, Mr. Crawford leads a distinguished team of executive compensation consultants alongside his partner, Ian Keas. He is also a respected faculty instructor and trainer for Executive Pay and Variable Pay Certification programs, and a curriculum contributor for WorldatWork. A published author, Mr. Crawford has written three books and served as a technical contributor to five others, all focused on corporate compensation and governance.
