Russell Reynolds Associates: Research on RemCo Chairs Sheds Light on Anticipated Evolution of Role

Russell Reynolds Associates has published a report on the remuneration committee chair of FTSE 100 companies, providing a new look at those currently in the role and their insights as to how the role is evolving.

Key results include:

• While men still hold the majority of remuneration chair positions, women are proportionally more represented in this role than in any other committee chair.
• A third of those examined in the report have a background in financial services.
• 44% of the remuneration chairs looked at were recruited straight into the role, while 20% were on the board for less than a year before becoming the remuneration chair.
