Steven Oakland has been the CEO of TreeHouse Foods since March 2018. Born in 1963, he brings a solid educational background with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a wealth of experience in management. Over his tenure at TreeHouse, he has overseen significant changes and guided the company toward aligning executive compensation with performance and shareholder interests. In 2023, his total compensation reached around $1.2 million, which included a base salary of $950,000 and a bonus tied to performance metrics like revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA. An interesting point about Steven is that he has consistently maintained a significant portion of his pay in ‘at-risk’ compensation, which means it depends on the company's performance. This alignment with company success underlines the importance of accountability in leadership. During his time, he has reinforced stock ownership requirements, ensuring that executives have a stake in the company's future. He has also adapted the company’s pay programs based on feedback from shareholders to drive value creation and strategic growth in a complex market. With a focus on results, Steven Oakland continues to position TreeHouse Foods for long-term success.
