Jeffrey Lang has a strong background in management with a career spanning over 30 years. He took the reins as CEO of CECO Environmental Corp. in 2010, coming in from his role as Executive Vice President at McJunkin Red Man Corporation, a company worth approximately $4.5 billion. Before that, he spent 25 years at Ingersoll Rand, starting from a sales engineer to holding important positions like Director and General Manager. He has navigated CECO through various challenges and changes, including overseeing significant acquisitions. His compensation history shows a varied range: in 2015, his total compensation was about $2.29 million, a mix of salary and performance-based bonuses, including a notable $350,000 cash bonus tied to an acquisition he led. However, his payments took a notable drop, as he received no stock awards in 2017 when he stepped down from the CEO role. His journey reflects the highs and lows of executive leadership that many can learn from.

Throughout his career, Jeffrey Lang has held substantial stock options, reflecting his investment and belief in CECO Environmental Corp. At one point, he held options for 600,000 shares granted in 2010, which were meant to align his interests with the company's success. This was in addition to an award of 400,000 shares related to an acquisition the company made in 2013. As of December 31, 2015, unexercised options were still available, with a notable market value attributed to his unvested holdings, despite the significant reduction in equity awards after his departure in 2017. His wealth rollercoaster as a result of these holdings is an interesting aspect, with earlier years peaking at over $2 million in total compensation, to later not benefiting from stock awards altogether, highlighting the fluctuating nature of executive compensation and investments.
