Compensation History

See how much did Marijn E. Dekkers make over time.

Marijn E. Dekkers' compensation while at Thermo Fisher Scientific highlighted the connection between salary and performance-based incentives. In 2008, he earned a total of $10 million, which broke down into a base salary of approximately $1.2 million and cash bonuses influenced by the company's adjusted operating income and revenue growth. However, after resigning in late 2009, his compensation took a significant hit, dropping to just $180,000. This stark contrast illustrates how executive pay can be tightly linked to the time spent at the helm and the company's performance during that period. Dekkers' contract included benefits such as a potential severance payout that could have equaled three times his salary and bonuses, further emphasizing the importance of performance metrics in executive remuneration. His experience reflects the increasingly prevalent trend of aligning financial incentives with company success.
