About this episode

Gary Miles discusses executive pay in New Zealand and its implications for public markets.

Is New Zealand too conservative with how we reward our top executives, and could that be hurting our public markets? In this clip from Shared Lunch, Gentrack CEO Gary Miles responds to his headline-making position as the NZX’s highest-paid CEO, and tackles the bigger question of executive pay in New Zealand. Could too much scrutiny of remuneration make it harder for public companies to attract top talent? And is there a risk it pushes more businesses into private ownership? This clip is a bonus from our previous episode  ‘Gentrack chases global power’ For more places to follow Shared Lunch—check out http://linktr.ee/sharedlunch Shared Lunch is brought to you by Sharesies Australia Limited (ABN 94 648 811 830; AFSL 529893) in Australia and Sharesies Limited (NZ) in New Zealand.
