Luis Navas and Global Governance Advisors: Offering an Independent Perspective on Corporate Compensation Best

Practices

As Vice Chair of Global Governance Advisors, Luis Navas works with boards to optimize governance structures and executive compensation packages. Mr. Navas’ firm was featured in a June 2012 online discussion facilitated by The Globe and Mail, related to an article on trends in executive pay.

In the discussion, The Globe asked GGA about the firm’s niche in defining compensation best practices. GGA, represented by a Managing Partner, characterized the firm as uniquely independent in perspective, with a commitment to fostering collaboration between shareholders and boards of directors in drawing up optimal compensation plans. He also underlined GGA's advocacy of “professionalizing its space” through Canada’s first-ever accredited executive compensation training curriculum. To date, more than 200 participants have graduated from GGA's in-depth two-and-a-half-day program. 

Corporate Compensation Best Practices

GGA employs a holistic approach concerning executive compensation. While the consultancy focuses on executive pay at the highest levels, the same boards advised have oversight over middle-management as well as lower-level compensation. The best-practice approaches recommended by the firm, and the knowledge tools provided, exert a broad influence on overall corporate pay structures.
