《财富》500强中薪酬最高的技术高管

关于首席执行官（CEO）的薪水，我们已经听得够多的了。不过，关于首席信息官（CIO）或其他顶级技术高管的薪水信息，大众了解的难度就大得多了。

据DiscoverOrg称，部分原因在于，在调查的《财富》500强公司的486份委托书中，只有21家列出了首席信息官（CIO）、首席技术官（CTO）和其他顶级IT高管的薪水。该公司搜集了这些信息，并公布了结果。

DiscoverOrg是一家位于华盛顿州温哥华的销量分析软件提供商。公司的共同创始人兼首席执行官亨利•舒克表示，委托书的数量之所以是486而不是500，在于伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司等控股公司没有首席信息官，而控股公司旗下的业务单位可能也没有高级技术管理人员。

那么，在这21家公司中，哪位技术高管的薪水最高呢？

答案是保险业巨头美国国际集团（AIG）的副总裁和首席信息官菲利普•法萨诺。他在2015年的薪水为8,397,689美元。法萨诺曾是凯撒医疗机构（Kaiser Permanente）的首席信息官，于2014年加入美国国际集团。

Biogen公司的执行技术和商业服务副总裁阿德里亚娜•卡拉布蒂丝在2015年以7,746,857美元的薪水名列第二。

名列第三的是喜达屋酒店集团（Starwood Hotels）的执行副总裁和首席信息官玛莎•波尔特，她在2015年的薪水为4,565,947美元。

浏览整个榜单，还会发现更有趣的事情——例如，居然有这么多高收入的高管位于零售行业，这让我惊到了。

We hear a ton about compensation for chief executive officers. But when it comes to chief information officers or other top-tier technology execs, that information is much harder to come by.

Part of the problem is that compensation for chief information officers (CIOs), chief technology officers (CTOs), and other top IT executives, is listed in just 21 of the 486 Fortune 500 company proxies surveyed, according to DiscoverOrg, which did the legwork and posted its findings.

It was 486 and not 500 because holding companies like Berkshire Hathaway BRK.A 0.73% don’t have chief information officers, said Henry Schuck, co-founder and chief executive of DiscoverOrg, a Vancouver, Wash.-based provider of sales analytics software. And, the holding companies’ component business units may or may not have their own top technology execs.

So who’s the best-paid tech exec among those 21 companies?

That would be Philip Fasano, executive vice president and CIO of insurance giant AIG whose 2015 compensation came in at a healthy $8,397,689 million. The former CIO of Kaiser Permanente joined AIG in 2014.

Adriana Karaboutis, executive vice president of technology and business services at Biogen, ranked second at $7,746,857 in 2015 compensation.

And Martha Poulter, executive vice president and CIO of Starwood Hotels rounded out the top three with $4,565,947 for 2015.

Check out the whole list, there’s more interesting stuff in there—I was struck, for example, by how many of the top earners were in the retail arena.
