His base went to $475,000, an increase of 29 percent from $380,000. Nelson's new base of $575,000 is 15-percent higher than the prior $500,000. I keep thinking that Nelson's quip to McGeever from the stage at last year's SuiteWorld conference in May about "when you are running the company" looks like a potential succession strategy. Marc Huffman, president of worldwide sales and distribution, saw his base rise 9.7 percent to $329,000 from $300,000. CFO Ron Gill's new pay of $372,000 is 7.8 percent up from $345,000. Chief technology officer and founder Evan Goldberg sees his base salary increase to $425,000, an increase of 6.3 percent from $400,000. This is Huffman's first year as a named executive. He replaced Tim Dilley, the former EVP of worldwide services and chief customer officer, who left in October after working for NetSuite from January 2007.
