What This 2022 Filing Tells Us About GREENHILL & CO INC
According to the 2022 DEF 14A proxy statement filed with the SEC, GREENHILL & CO INC (, CIK 1282977) reported CEO 's total compensation at $215K. That figure is an aggregate of base salary (N/A). The median employee at the firm — the reference point mandated by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act — earned $215,000 over the same fiscal year, producing the headline CEO-to-worker pay ratio of 21:1 that this page tracks.
Context matters when reading this ratio. GREENHILL & CO INC operates in the Security & Commodity Brokers sector and is headquartered in DE. Across the Security & Commodity Brokers industry (SIC 62), 35 SEC-reporting companies disclosed pay ratios in FY2023, with a median of 57:1 and an average of 75:1. Median industry CEO pay was $9.3M, so GREENHILL & CO INC's $215K sits at or below that typical figure. That comparison is the fastest way to separate "the CEO is paid like peers" from "this company is an outlier."
Finally, a note on what these SEC numbers do and do not include. Total compensation reported under Item 402 of Regulation S-K reflects grant-date fair value for equity awards, not realized pay, so a CEO may eventually cash in more — or less — depending on stock performance and vesting. The pay ratio itself is calculated against a single median employee chosen under rules that allow statistical sampling, and companies may update methodology year to year. This proxy was filed on 2023-03-13; all figures on this page come directly from that public filing and can be verified against the DEF 14A on the SEC EDGAR system.
