Compensation History

See how much did John Duerden make over time.

In 2009, John Duerden was rewarded with a total compensation of approximately $2.2 million during his first year as CEO of Crocs, which included a base salary of $670,191 and a significant bonus tied to achieving performance metrics, amounting to $338,836. His 2010 compensation, however, went up considerably to about $2.6 million due to a lump sum severance payment of around $1.77 million upon his retirement. His package was carefully structured to align with shareholder interests and aimed at attracting and retaining experienced executives. A key feature of his compensation was a signing bonus of $350,000, which helped secure his commitment to the role initially. In terms of shares, Duerden also had stock grants totaling 400,000 shares, highlighting the strategic compensation approach of Crocs during that period. Duerden's financial arrangements underline the challenging balance of motivating leadership while also addressing performance expectations.
