CRIST KOLDER|ASSOCIATES

Turnover: The rate at which there is a new hire for a C-Suite position

Volatility: Turnover is noted when the executive starts in the new role (as opposed to the date of announcement)

Internal change: An executive is promoted to a role at the company where he/she is already employed

External change: An executive is recruited to a position at a company to which his/her previous position has no formal ties

Mergers: In a merger of equals, the combined company is considered a new entity. A change in leadership, therefore, is marked for all mergers. A change is internal if the executive was previously employed by either of the merging companies

Acquisitions: In the event an executive from the acquired company is appointed to a role in the acquiring company, it is an internal change

Partial year: Designation indicates data gathered up to August 1, 2018, not a projection

COO Role: If no individual operates under the title of COO at a given company, description of duties, executive hierarchy, and compensation are simultaneously analyzed to determine if someone with another title fulfills this role
