關于首席執(zhí)行官（CEO）的薪水，我們已經聽得夠多的了。不過，關于首席信息官（CIO）或其他頂級技術高管的薪水信息，大眾了解的難度就大得多了。

據DiscoverOrg稱，部分原因在于，在調查的《財富》500強公司的486份委托書中，只有21家列出了首席信息官（CIO）、首席技術官（CTO）和其他頂級IT高管的薪水。該公司搜集了這些信息，并公布了結果。

DiscoverOrg是一家位于華盛頓州溫哥華的銷量分析軟件提供商。公司的共同創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官亨利?舒克表示，委托書的數量之所以是486而不是500，在于伯克希爾-哈撒韋公司等控股公司沒有首席信息官，而控股公司旗下的業(yè)務單位可能也沒有高級技術管理人員。

那么，在這21家公司中，哪位技術高管的薪水最高呢？

答案是保險業(yè)巨頭美國國際集團（AIG）的副總裁和首席信息官菲利普?法薩諾。他在2015年的薪水為8,397,689美元。法薩諾曾是凱撒醫(yī)療機構（Kaiser Permanente）的首席信息官，于2014年加入美國國際集團。

Biogen公司的執(zhí)行技術和商業(yè)服務副總裁阿德里亞娜?卡拉布蒂絲在2015年以7,746,857美元的薪水名列第二。

名列第三的是喜達屋酒店集團（Starwood Hotels）的執(zhí)行副總裁和首席信息官瑪莎?波爾特，她在2015年的薪水為4,565,947美元。

瀏覽整個榜單，還會發(fā)現更有趣的事情——例如，居然有這么多高收入的高管位于零售行業(yè)，這讓我驚到了。

We hear a ton about compensation for chief executive officers. But when it comes to chief information officers or other top-tier technology execs, that information is much harder to come by.

Part of the problem is that compensation for chief information officers (CIOs), chief technology officers (CTOs), and other top IT executives, is listed in just 21 of the 486 Fortune 500 company proxies surveyed, according to DiscoverOrg, which did the legwork and posted its findings.

It was 486 and not 500 because holding companies like Berkshire Hathaway BRK.A 0.73% don’t have chief information officers, said Henry Schuck, co-founder and chief executive of DiscoverOrg, a Vancouver, Wash.-based provider of sales analytics software. And, the holding companies’ component business units may or may not have their own top technology execs.

So who’s the best-paid tech exec among those 21 companies?

That would be Philip Fasano, executive vice president and CIO of insurance giant AIG whose 2015 compensation came in at a healthy $8,397,689 million. The former CIO of Kaiser Permanente joined AIG in 2014.

Adriana Karaboutis, executive vice president of technology and business services at Biogen, ranked second at $7,746,857 in 2015 compensation.

And Martha Poulter, executive vice president and CIO of Starwood Hotels rounded out the top three with $4,565,947 for 2015.

Check out the whole list, there’s more interesting stuff in there—I was struck, for example, by how many of the top earners were in the retail arena.
