Michael Laphen, former CSC CEO, president and chairman

Laphen’s compensation took a 19% hit in the company’s 2011 fiscal year, during which time CSC’s revenue inched up 1% to $16 billion and net income fell 9% to $759 million compared to a year earlier. Laphen’s $12.5 million pay package included a $1.1 million salary, $1.3 million bonus, equity awards valued at $7.3 million, and perks and other compensation worth $2.8 million. CSC’s 2011 fiscal year ended in April, well before Laphen announced his retirement in October. He’s succeeded by Mike Lawrie, who began his post as CSC’s president and CEO on March 19, 2012.
