We surveyed our network of digital leaders across Europe and received 1,000 responses. Using these results, combined with our own internal data and insights, we have produced this guide to provide an up-to-date benchmark for digital executives financial compensation across a range of functions, levels and company types.
KEY
It goes without saying that these findings are based on a limited dataset and therefore caution should be exercised before drawing specific conclusions. However, the themes and trends outlined are born out during our day-to-day experiences of building outstanding teams for the world’s most innovative companies.
