"I sit on the board of a mid-cap company and served as the Chairman of the Board's HR Committee. After a competitive RFP process that included the largest HR consulting firms in the country, we retained Rodney Cottrell of Corporate Compensation Partners. I personally reviewed all RFP responses and sat through the presentations of the short-listed firms. Both his RFP response and personal interview were of a quality vastly superior to that of the other firms. Rodney worked with us to create a reasonable and effective Long Term Incentive Program for our company that has met with great success with our management team. We subsequently retained him to advise us on other HR-related issues and he continues to serve as an advisor to the board. I would highly recommend Rodney to companies, large or small."
