New to the compensation list, and relatively new to the job, is Todd Sheldon, EVP, GC and corporate secretary at Atlanta homebuilding company PulteGroup Inc. The final GC on the list to exceed the $1 million mark, Sheldon’s total cash compensation was $1,200,885. His base salary of $365,385 got even sweeter with an added $535,500 in nonequity incentives and a $300,000 bonus. He also received about $1.2 million more in stock awards.

Sheldon joined Pulte in March 2017 from Americold, another Georgia-based company, where he had been EVP, GC and secretary since June 2013. He also held in-house roles of increasing responsibility at SuperValu Inc., including a nearly three-year stint as EVP, GC and secretary, and before that was in-house at Medtronic.
