About Us

The Lane Caputo Difference

We apply our extensive sector experience and advise our clients on a case-by-case basis, versus the one-size-fits-all approach of many third-party proxy advisors.

All of our projects start with a discussion on the client’s current business strategy, corporate values, operations, and key milestones.

We incorporate the company’s objectives into a well-defined philosophy that guides the design of the compensation program.

Our History

We formed in 2006 as an independent executive compensation advisory firm, with the goal to develop trusted relationships with clients as we guide them through the increasingly complex compensation environment. These relationships are built by applying our extensive sector experience and advising our clients on a case-by-case basis, versus the one size fits all approach of many third-party proxy advisors.

The Problem

There can be a disconnect between the decisions made at the Board level and the implementation of these philosophies and programs throughout the company. The disconnect often occurs from a lack of internal resources to lead the implementation of these programs (early-stage, fast-growth companies, resource-constrained cyclical commodity companies, etc.).

Our Solution

We facilitate the Board’s oversight role by working with various company stakeholders and other service providers to ensure that the decisions made at the boardroom table are implemented throughout the organization.

Get In touch

We’re always interested in helping companies reach their compensation and Board objectives. Our firm operates nationally, with offices located in Calgary and Vancouver.

Our Approach

Working as a trusted advisor to both the Board and management, we employ a top-down approach to our projects. We start our process by considering our client’s business strategy and industry realities before advising on executive compensation and overall compensation governance initiatives. We then design custom solutions, rooted in competitive industry practices, that increase competitiveness while ensuring that compensation drives the desired results.

While providing advice, we:

Analyze

Your company’s strategy, values, and challenges to design a solution that aligns with your objectives.

Educate

Both executives and the Board on compensation governance issues as they apply to your industry and company’s stage of development.

Develop

Executive pay programs that are well understood by participants, enticing to senior management, and supported by investors and other stakeholders.
