June 11 Webinar: Elon Musk and the $56 Billion Pay Package: Should There Be Any Limits on Executive Compensation?

Elon Musk, CEO and product architect of Tesla, is famous for his unconventional compensation package, which includes large grants of stock options designed to incentivize him to drive the firm to meet ambitious market value goals. While the $56 billion in pay indicates that the firm met the performance goals set in the package, it raises important questions. How high should executive compensation be? Is its purpose to reward the CEO without limit, or to provide just enough incentives to reach certain company goals? Larry Zicklin (BBA, ’57) discusses these questions with Jeroen van Kwawegen, Esq., and Gregory Varallo, Esq. (pictured, left to right), both of the law firm Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP. With an introduction by Zicklin School Dean Bruce Weber and a Q&A session moderated by Associate Dean Gwendolyn Webb
