It brings to mind a question: Who are the other most well-paid CEOs in the tech world of Massachusetts? According to a rankings list by Boston Business Journal, there are 17 other executives with similar pay.
“To compile the ranking, the total pay figures — which include stock awards, stock options, bonuses and other forms of compensation in addition to salary, some of which are not actually paid out that calendar year — were taken from proxy statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission this spring. Figures for 2025 are the most recent available,” Boston Business Journal said.
