"We were looking for data for privately (family) held companies, and this was the best resource I found for the information."

Anna Nogueiro, Director of Human Resources, Nelson

Research Methodology

Chief Executive Research sent surveys to the readers of Chief Executive magazine as well as select segments of its online database of CEOs in April 2014, asking for company information, compensation data, policies, and procedures for their most recently completed fiscal year as well as expected 2014 cash compensation.

1,250 private companies responded to the survey, with over 700 completing the detailed compensation questions. There were a total of over 3,000 responses for individual compensation packages.

Strong response rates were received from private companies representing a wide range of sizes, industries, geographies, and ownership types.

The survey effort focused on private companies with revenues from less than $2 million to over $1 billion and utilized a stratified sampling of companies to allow companies of each size to benchmark their company against similarly-sized companies.
