  • Consumer Goods CFOs have the highest median compensation, at $1.75 million, while the biggest drop in pay from 2008 to 2009 went to Industrial Goods CFOs, with a 21.8% decrease.
  • While a majority of 2008 equity awards are underwater, those receiving grants in early 2009 saw major gains in intrinsic value as the market has recovered.
