Navigating Past Clawbacks to Take a Competitor’s C-level Job Offer

Ten days ago yesterday, on Sunday April 30, 2023, CEOWorld magazine published an article I wrote on “Navigating Past Clawbacks to take a Competitor’s C-level Job Offer.”

This new article is designed for designed for CEOs, COOs, CFOs, C-level and senior executives, who would like to make a move, who are considering a new position, or who are being courted or recruited for a C-level position with a direct competitor company, but face a serious obstacle in even testing the waters with that direct competitor company. That serious obstacle comes in the form of significant clawback terms in your past executive equity grants with your company.

In many cases, these grants and the clawback rights accrued over the years, can potentially cost a departing executive millions of dollars. These dollars of forced repayment can thus pose a truly draconian deterrent to leaving to join a direct competitor.

How can you explore the opportunity and still protect yourself?

This article fully discusses this problem and then shares some of the author’s techniques representing C-level clients in major US corporations under just these circumstances. The article closes with advice to navigate the clawbacks peril to join a direct competitor, by fully preparing and covering yourself using the two-fold strategy set out in the article.

To do that, it may be important to first put in place proper safeguards to navigate past the serious potential liability if your current employer has clawbacks in place.
