What We Saw
Companies and boards are placing greater importance on attracting, retaining and developing executive talent, while increasing shareholder scrutiny adds complexity to how leaders are rewarded. Pearl Meyer stood out for its longstanding reputation in executive compensation, recurring board relationships, client service and differentiated combination of compensation and leadership expertise.
Coalesce saw an opportunity to build on that foundation by expanding Pearl Meyer’s capabilities and market share, positioning the firm to address a broader range of human capital priorities for boards and management teams.
Building Together
Coalesce and the Pearl Meyer management team are focused on broadening the firm’s capabilities while strengthening the expertise and client relationships at the core of the business.
Together, the team is investing in talent and technology, expanding leadership advisory capabilities and pursuing strategic acquisitions that add complementary expertise. The shared ambition is for Pearl Meyer to become the first call for boards across a broader range of executive human capital needs.
Progress
Pearl Meyer has continued to expand beyond its core executive compensation practice, building a broader platform across compensation, leadership advisory, technical expertise and data. The firm has also expanded its leadership advisory capabilities through strategic acquisition, including the addition of Ampersand Leadership Group.
Today, Pearl Meyer brings together compensation and leadership expertise to help clients address priorities ranging from executive and CEO succession to board effectiveness, organizational design, executive coaching and leadership development.
