  • Google Effect' May Drive up Pay for Corporate Board Members
    `Google Effect' May Drive Up Pay for Corporate Board Members By Jonathan Thaw December 16, 2005 Google Inc.'s surging stock price made its employees the envy of Silicon Valley. Now the same may happen with the search engine's corporate directors. The Mountain View, California-based company is giving new board members options and stock worth millions of dollars, compared with the $175,000 annual salary directors receive at Microsoft Corp., according to the Corporate Library, a research firm that rates corporate governance. Google pays directors more than any other company, the Corporate Library says. Google paid Ann Mather, the former finance chief of animation studio Pixar, $2.36 million in options as an initial grant when she joined the board last month, according to the Corporate Library. She joins Intel Corp. Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini, whose options are worth about $24.2 million, more than his current Intel stake. ``The company's done fabulously well,'' said Robert Daines, a professor of law and business at Stanford University's Law School near Palo Alto, California. ``This is a Google effect.'' The value of Mather's stock grant is the highest initial option award granted to a director in the Corporate Library's three-year database, according to Paul Hodgson, a senior researcher at the Portland, Maine-based firm. He didn't say what methodology was used to value the options. Sarbanes-Oxley Companies are increasing pay for directors as responsibilities become more onerous, said Tuck Rickards, a managing director at Russell Reynolds Associates, a Boston-based executive search firm.
