Daniel H. Roy has been leading Tucows Inc. since November 2004. With a background that includes roles as Vice President of Engineering at Tucows and Senior Vice President and CIO at telecommunications companies like GT Group Telecom, he brings a wealth of experience to the table. His compensation model is heavily performance-focused; for instance, in 2005, his total earnings were $206,868, which included a bonus linked directly to the company's net income. Interesting to note, in 2004, he was granted 200,000 stock options, but none vested that year. This signals an emphasis on the future potential of the company's growth rather than immediate benefits. Daniel's career also shows versatility as he co-founded an internet startup and led engineering teams before joining Tucows. Since his appointment, the company has continued to grow, adapting to changes in the tech landscape, and Roy has played an integral role in steering this evolution.

Compensation History

See how much did Daniel H. Roy make over time.

Daniel H. Roy's compensation at Tucows reflects a performance-driven approach. For 2005, his total pay was $206,868, primarily from his base salary and an incentive bonus tied to company profits. This bonus structure means Roy's rewards are directly connected to how well Tucows does financially, aligning his goals with those of shareholders. In 2004, he received a larger total of $230,938, which included a substantial bonus based on net income. However, it’s notable that he didn't receive any stock grants or options that year, which means he had to rely solely on cash compensation at that time. This reflects Tucows' preference for rewarding executives based on company performance rather than immediate stock benefits, which is an interesting aspect of its compensation strategy.
