“I met Ezra through recommendations from two trusted colleagues. They both had successfully negotiated senior executive roles, working closely with Ezra. With Ezra’s coaching and guidance, I was able to secure a compensation package in the seven figures that was well beyond my expected target range, along with a seven-figure sign-on bonus. In the beginning, I wasn't so sure about the impact that Ezra would have. After all, I’ve been an executive for a long time, negotiating many deals and have hired many senior leaders. However, looking back now, I can truly say Ezra’s impact was significant, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience and the outcome.”

“Being able to get connected with Ezra before I had discussed any financials with the new company was incredibly beneficial. Over the course of negotiations, Ezra helped me get a 30% raise in my base pay, plus we were also able to raise the original equity offer by $400k in the end, making my total package significantly more than we had set as our goal total comp. Ezra makes himself available and is a real cheerleader for getting what you deserve and sets you up to be on your front foot. So glad we were connected!”

I had the pleasure of working with Ezra during my first external job search in 13 years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.. Ezra brought a rare combination of big-picture perspective and attention to future relationships, ensuring that my negotiations not only delivered results but also preserved trust with both the recruiter and my future boss. He was incredibly responsive, supportive, and - importantly- fun to work with, turning what could have been a stressful process into an empowering one. Thanks to his expertise and partnership, I was able to secure a very generous package at my new company in record time. I’m deeply grateful for his support and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone navigating executive compensation.

“I was lucky to meet Ezra in time to both negotiate my severance and my package for what became my dream job, having him as a thought partner and confidante on my entire journey. Embarking on a career shift as a seasoned executive woman of color requires having allies. Ezra played the role as negotiator, coach, and an incredibly informed insider. From severance to my new role, I gained hundreds of thousands (+$200,000) in negotiated value thanks to our partnership (and now friendship).”

“I enjoyed partnering with Ezra during my years as Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Office of Limited (L) Brands. With a deep personal background in HR, I have had the opportunity to interact and work with numerous executive compensation leaders. I can unequivocally state that Ezra is without a peer. He combines deep technical expertise with a personality that makes him extraordinarily effective in dealing with Board Members, Company Managers, Job Candidates, and HR Staff. You cannot find a better resource for your executive compensation negotiation needs.”
