    Trends in Executive Compensation

    Live Webinar

    FREE for OCCABA members.

    Non-OCCABA member may register for $30.

    Thursday, March 21, 2024 from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (Pacific Time)

    Please join us as our guest presenters, WTW consultants Mark Chen, Sr. Director and BJ Firmacion, Associate Director, will discuss the pertinent issues and trends in executive compensation for 2024.

    This webinar will focus on the following topics of interest:

    • Securities and Exchange Commission regulations: an in-depth look at regulatory changes related to pay-versus-performance disclosures and the likely adoption of new pay recoupment policies (i.e., clawback policies)
    • Environmental, Social and Governance: The latest local and global trends and proactive engagement strategies
    • Managing equity/long-term incentives in a distressed market environment

    Our guest speakers will be: 

     Mark Chen - Senior Director, Executive Compensation at Willis Towers Watson (WTW)

    Mark has assisted publicly-traded, private and not-for-profit clients in a broad range of industries, including airlines, biopharma, consumer products, high technology, media, manufacturing, real estate and supply chain logistics.

    Mark was appointed to WTW’s Executive Compensation Guiding Principles initiative, which is focused on clarifying and affirming our Executive Compensation practice’s perspectives, approaches, guidelines and key considerations in support of effective design, governance, management and administration of executive pay programs.

    Mark also participates in the development and delivery of multiple training programs for our national Executive Compensation analyst team.

    Mark earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the University of California, Irvine.
