“We started using Mike in 2004 when we were $400M in assets and have continued using his services today at $4.5B. Mike has been tremendous in helping us achieve the goals that the compensation committee wants on long and short-term incentives to attract and retain the best. Having all the data at our disposal and explained to us is invaluable to the committee and the bank.”
Ricky Gibson
Chairman, First Bancshares, Inc.
“We have worked exclusively with Matt Brei for all of our company’s compensation management needs since 2012. As a publicly-traded company, Our Compensation Committee relies upon Matt as an independent advisor in the area of executive compensation, pay-for-performance analysis, and incentive plan risk analysis. From an executive management perspective, BCG provides us with competitive compensation analysis across our entire company as well as supporting the process for an effective salary and incentive compensation system. We consider Matt and Blanchard Consulting an integral part of our company’s success.”
Mark Schroeder
Chairman and CEO, German American
“Mike has been an invaluable asset as we design and benchmark compensation and benefits. He is always willing to answer my questions and provide solid resources. Our Board Compensation Committee trusts and utilizes much of Blanchard’s information in making important decisions related to the bank’s compensation and benefit plans. It is such a relief knowing that I have a reliable and independent advisor who is just a phone call away.”
