Compensation arrives with the appointment
Fifty-one of the 103 appointments carried compensation, a clear read on package sizes as they are set. The standout figure in the window belonged to an exit: a US-listed services group recorded a chief executive departure carrying $10m across three separate cash components, in the same week it appointed five new directors to the board.
Nineteen organisations filled a seat twice
Nineteen of the 107 organisations recorded both an exit and an arrival inside the same seven days. Five filled the seat with an interim: a finance chief out and an interim in, twice; a chief executive out and an interim in; and one organisation where the incoming chief executive took on the finance seat directly rather than hiring for it.
An interim in a seat is a mandate worth watching. The departure and the appointment come through as separate records, days apart. Setting them against the same organisation is what turns two events into one story.
A long runway on forward-dated moves
A hundred and three of the 161 moves were recorded on or before their effective date. The furthest forward was a finance appointment effective 31 March 2027, recorded 238 days ahead of the date it takes effect.
