Elias J. Sabo became the CEO of Compass Diversified Holdings on May 3, 2018, after a long career in finance and investment that began when he joined Compass Group Management in 1998 as a founding partner. Over the years, he played a key role in shaping the strategies that guide Compass Diversified's acquisitions and overall direction. One interesting thing about Sabo is that he does not receive a direct salary. Instead, he is compensated based on management fees paid to the firm managing Compass. This means his income is closely tied to the performance of the company, though there's no specific performance metric linked to his pay. Sabo also serves on the boards of several Compass subsidiaries, showcasing his deep involvement in the wider business operations. His background includes experience at CIBC Oppenheimer and Colony Capital, making him well-versed in the investment landscape. Under his leadership, Compass has expanded its portfolio across various sectors, demonstrating a solid commitment to growth and long-term value for shareholders.
