CEO Compensation @ Top English Proficiency Testing Companies
I've said it before and I'll say it again: it pays to test! Pearson, ETS, Cambridge, etc claim multiple Bs in revenue each year, and I thought I'd take a look at their most recent numbers published on executive compensation.
| Company | CEO / Leader | Most Recent Available Total Compensation |
|---|---|---|
| Pearson (PTE) | Omar Abbosh | £16.35 million (~US$20 m) in 2024 |
| Educational Testing Service (ETS) | Amit Sevak | ~$1.59 million in 2023 |
| IDP Education Limited (IELTS partnership) | Tennealle O’Shannessy | ~A$2.48 million (~US$1.6 m) in 2024 |
ETS is a non-profit, so not quite an apt comparison, but the delta between IDP and Pearson is massive. IDP's revenue of course is dwarfed by PTE, and CEO comp is just .28% of overall revenues versus .43% at Pearson.
