Stuart Reeves is the founder and principal of TSG Executive Search & Compensation, where he has spent more than twenty years advising mid-market organizations on compensation strategy, pay structure design, and executive hiring. His practice concentrates on companies of 100 to 1,500 employees — organizations where pay decisions carry outsized consequence and are almost always made without a dedicated compensation function.

Running compensation advisory and executive search side by side has given him an unusual vantage point: he sees both the benchmark used to price a role and the offer that role actually accepted. That pairing is the foundation of the validation research presented in this session. He also founded Compifi, a compensation intelligence company serving the mid-market.
