Compensation History

See how much did Jeff Lawson make over time.

In 2023, Jeff Lawson's total compensation dropped to about $76,859, a sharp change from the previous year, where he earned over $4.9 million. The drastic cut in salary shows how executives at Twilio respond to shareholder feedback and company performance. His salary for 2023 was at $74,818, with no bonuses or stock options awarded, highlighting a change in strategy to align more closely with shareholders' interests. Instead, prior years showcased significant earnings from vested stocks, especially in 2022 when more than $4.3 million came from stock awards alone. Lawson's fluctuating compensation packages reflect the changing pace of a tech company and the challenges faced in maintaining consistent performance. This shift illustrates a new era for Twilio as it embarks on continued growth without its founding CEO at the helm.
