Chartwell Expands Executive Compensation Team

Chartwell is pleased to announce the expansion of its executive compensation team with the additions of Rachel Simon and Matt Martin. Part of Chartwell’s broader consulting practice, our executive compensation professionals help clients make confident pay decisions that attract and retain key leaders, reinforce performance priorities, and sustain long-term value creation.

Rachel Simon joins as a Director with over 10 years of experience in designing incentive programs. She implements successful ownership transition strategies while aligning shareholders, executives, and employees in the achievement of mutually beneficial outcomes. Prior to Chartwell, Rachel led the executive compensation team at RSM US LLP and served on its national tax team as a compensation and benefits subject matter expert.

Matt Martin joins as a Vice President with unique experience providing compensation benchmarking, short- and long-term incentive plan design, IPO readiness assessments, and tax technical support related to compensation and benefits. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and designated as a Certified Executive Compensation Professional (CECP). Prior to Chartwell, Matt grew his career within the compensation consulting practice at Grant Thornton.

“We are thrilled to have Rachel and Matt join our consulting team,” said Matt Keene, Managing Director and Head of Executive Compensation. “Their deep executive and board compensation experience will allow us to better serve Chartwell’s existing clients and offer complementary services to a broader array of privately-held middle market companies.”
