Ted Jarvis has been consulting in governance, executive and board compensation issues since 1994. He specializes in proxy analysis, valuation, institutional investors’ voting guidelines, and technical issues. Over his career, he developed templates for competitive pay analysis, tally sheets, tax-free spinoffs, 280G tax sanctions, and Black-Sholes / Binomial option pricing models. Ted has authored several chapters and articles on tax, accounting and securities law issues pertaining to executive compensation, and has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Agenda, and other publications.

His background in information systems and management includes 10 years with offshore teams of proxy analysts.
