From Frank Glassner
CEO Veritas Compensation Consultants

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As we close the books on another year and look toward the fresh promise of 2025, I’m reminded of a Grateful Dead lyric that perfectly captures our journey: "What a long, strange trip it's been." This year has indeed been a rollercoaster, echoing a Hunter Thompson escapade—full of twists and turns along with a bit of fear and loathing.

Here at Veritas Executive Compensation Consultants, we’re not just stepping into a new year; we’re leaping into it with renewed purpose and horizons that are excitingly vast. Our dedication to guiding you through the intricacies of executive pay and corporate governance remains steadfast, fueled by the expertise and acumen you’ve come to trust.

Whether it’s rethinking your compensation programs, aligning executive pay with strategic plans, or navigating complex and ever-evolving regulatory landscapes, we’re here to light your path forward. Let’s make 2025 a year marked by smart decisions, bold strategies, and stellar achievements.

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. It’s your engagement and collaboration that energize our efforts and make our work so rewarding. We’re eager to support your success in the coming year and beyond.

As we embrace the New Year, let’s do so not just with optimism, but with the determination to make transparency and integrity the hallmarks of our practices. Here’s to stepping out of any shadows the past may hold and moving forward into a future bright with possibility and hope.

Wishing you and yours joy, prosperity, and the clarity that comes from truly seeing and being seen.

Here’s to a spectacular New Year!

Warmest regards,
Frank Glassner
Chairman and CEO
