How Zoom Video CEO Pay Compares
Eric Yuan's $15.2M total compensation is 3% below the Software industry median of $15.7M. The 95:1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio is 29% lower than the industry average of 134:1.
Eric Yuan's total compensation at Zoom Video (ZM) ran $15.2M — comfortably in the upper bracket of U.S. public-company CEO pay. The package combines $1.5M in base salary with $7.6M in stock awards and $1.8M in option grants, plus performance-tied incentives.
The CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio runs 95x. Lower ratios typically reflect companies with higher-paid workforces (financial services, technology, professional services) where the median worker pay denominator is itself substantial. Three-year performance has been roughly flat — TSR of 4.8% alongside 3.7% revenue growth. Flat performance over a multi-year window is where pay-versus-performance debates get the most heated: large compensation packages without commensurate shareholder returns are the modal complaint at annual meetings.
Shareholders supported the compensation package at 93% on the most recent say-on-pay vote. Solid support without overwhelming endorsement is the typical pattern for established public companies with conventional compensation programs. Zoom Video operates in Software with 8,000 employees and $4.5B in annual revenue, and currently carries a market capitalization of $22.0B. Pay comparisons across companies require controlling for these structural factors — a $20M package at a $10B-revenue tech company reads differently than the same package at a $1B-revenue industrial.
