I'm very curious as to why ...

A) Phil Schiller being the svp of worldwide product marketing is being UNDERPAID? He's been with Apple through the thick and thin, and most likely has held Apple's torch very close to his heart even stepped in for the big shows for Jobs at least twice - despite my previous critique he did very well. Should his role not demand a higher pay than say Forestall's ?

B) How come Bertrand Serlet's annual salary not declared on the companies site if he's not a board member or outside consultant and is an active member is an active member of coding the os?

Just curious, and a feel ol Phil has been handed a raw deal - unless bonus' keep him happy.

Ps I'm seeing this via the Reuters pro app on iphone & their site.

for a marketing guy he's doing really well. he's in a company that consistently values the idea of product marketing so much so that he gets quite a lot of face time during product launches. when was the last time you saw Dell, HP, Sony or any other consumer tech company's marketing exec come out and publicly say something?

also, as someone mentioned above, the highest paid positions are often finance and operations related due to the fact that CEOs are culled from the two departments. the general, and often mistaken, way of thinking is that a company survive without marketing and advertising... but knock out either finance or operations, you have a gimped company.
