The top executive at Roper Technologies Inc. ranks No. 82 on a new list of the 100 “most overpaid” CEOs among the 500 companies in the S&P 500 Index.
It’s the third year that Brian Jellison, chairman, president and CEO of Roper (NYSE: ROP), a Sarasota software and engineered products firm, has shown up on the list, compiled by As You Sow, a nonprofit that tracks corporate responsibility.
Advocates of high CEO pay say it is a reward for high shareholder returns.
