Salon C-6: the room where the compensation committee approves the CEO bonus and the WTW consultant kit lands before coffee
Salon C-6 sits on the 16th floor where the executive compensation committees of BMV-listed corporates and IMMEX subsidiaries meet twice a year: five horseshoe-arranged seats, a lectern for the committee chair, a four-metre LED screen with simultaneous projection of the C-suite package and the WTW/Mercer/Aon benchmark where applicable, an annexed room with a secure phone line for calls with HR and with the external consultant, a sealed chamber for the LTI plan annexes and a closed kitchen with discreet service. This is where the CEO, CFO, COO and other N-1/N-2 packages get approved, where the long-term incentive plan (LTI) gets reviewed, where the options or RSU plan for the next three years gets ratified, where next year salary increases get the final sign-off and where the closed year performance gets graded. What separates Salon C-6 is the confidentiality ritual: the consultant kit enters before the benchmark, exits signed for by each committee member at close, and lets the head of HR archive the plan without the merch pulling attention from the comparison figures.
