See how much did Douglas A. Berthiaume make over time.

Throughout his time leading Waters Corporation, Douglas A. Berthiaume's compensation varied significantly based on the company's performance. In 2015, his total compensation was reported at $1,783,035, consisting of a salary of $500,000, a bonus of nearly $879,000, and other compensation.

His bonuses were heavily dependent on specific company performance metrics, like growth in non-GAAP earnings per share. This structure highlights his alignment with corporate goals, as he declined additional stock options, choosing instead to invest in the company directly. His highest compensation was in 2011, exceeding $2.6 million, and reflected the company's operational successes during that time.
