Daniel P. Amos (Chairman and CEO, Aflac)
December 11, 2007
Amos proves that you can be fairly (well) compensated (over $8 million in 2005) and still make the top 100 list for helping to keep executive compensation in line. Aflac has many things to be proud of, such as winning the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Corporate Citizenship Award in 2007, but the boldest move by Amos in 2007 was to agree with an investment group’s petition that allows shareholders to vote on the executive compensation plan of the corporation (a “Say on Pay”). Aflac was the first major U.S. corporation to voluntarily agree to such (Verizon soon followed). Now there is some movement in Congress to make it a law.
