Technology leaders have spent nearly four years evangelizing about the ways AI will change every aspect of work life. One of the most measurable changes so far however has been to tech chiefs’ own paychecks.
Median reported compensation for executives with “technology” in the title reached $2.6 million in the most recent fiscal year, up a whopping 45.4% from 2021, according to data compiled for Fortune by executive pay analytics firm C-suite Comp. The rising pay for tech execs was leagues above what their peers in the C-suite saw, with median compensation increasing 18.3% for COOs, 17.2% for CEOs, 15% for CFOs, and 9.2% for chief information officers.
