Hanson speaks of the corporate pillar of winning with excellence. He said, “We want to win in the marketplace, but we have to do it the right way.”
This begs the question, how can accepting compensation that is 40% higher than the closest med tech company, despite growing below market meet his mandate to win with excellence and do things the right way?
The answer is simple. It doesn’t. For Hanson to talk about how Solventum employees need to win with excellence while accepting a comp package that is unmoored to any relevant benchmarks is simply hypocritical.
