Roman Beleuta, Michael Bonner, and Kyle Eastman have been elevated to partner roles after demonstrating exceptional expertise and leadership within the field. The promotions are significant for the New York metro area business community, as the firm serves a wide range of clients including Fortune 100 corporations, middle-market private companies, and nonprofit organizations in the region.
Kelly Malafis, Founding Partner at Compensation Advisory Partners, stated that the promotions reflect both individual achievements and significant contributions to the firm's growth and reputation. The new partners bring more than a decade of experience each in addressing complex executive compensation challenges for boards and management teams. This expansion of the partner team enhances the firm's ability to provide strategic guidance on compensation strategy, incentive plan design, and regulatory compliance, which are critical issues for organizations navigating an increasingly competitive talent landscape.
Michael Bonner, operating from the New York office, focuses on incentive plan design, compensation benchmarking, and performance measurement for both public and private companies.

Roman Beleuta, based in the Seattle office and serving as Northwest Market Co-Lead, specializes in compensation strategy development, competitive pay programs, and IPO-related issues.

While both are based in Seattle, their expertise benefits clients across the firm's national footprint, including the New York metro area.
The promotions strengthen Compensation Advisory Partners' position as a leader in executive compensation consulting. With the expanded partner team, the firm is better equipped to serve clients ranging from Fortune 100 multinational corporations to middle-market private companies and nonprofit organizations. This is particularly important for New York City's diverse business landscape, where companies face unique pressures from shareholders, regulators, and the public regarding executive pay practices. The new partners' combined experience in areas such as pay-for-performance alignment and regulatory compliance will help clients address these challenges effectively.
