NACD Names Pearl Meyer Senior Leaders Matt Turner and Jannice Koors to 2026 Directorship 100

Recognition honors contributions to corporate governance and boardroom effectiveness.

BOSTON, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pearl Meyer, a leading advisor to boards, senior management, and PE sponsors on executive compensation and leadership, announced that Interim CEO Matt Turner and Senior Managing Director Jannice Koors have been named to the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) 2026 Directorship 100 in the Governance Professionals category.

The annual recognition honors influential leaders who advance corporate governance and boardroom effectiveness. Honorees are evaluated on their impact on board oversight, influence on governance practices, and demonstrated leadership and expertise.

"Effective governance requires compensation programs that support business strategy, rather than just reflect market practices," said Turner. "Our responsibility is to understand each client's challenges and provide candid, practical advice that helps boards make informed decisions, even when those decisions are difficult."

Before stepping into the interim CEO role, Turner served as Pearl Meyer's president of executive compensation. With more than 30 years of experience, he advises boards and senior management on compensation strategy, incentive design, performance measures, and shareholder-focused objectives. His work spans public and private companies across industries, including organizations navigating business transformation, ownership changes, and other strategic events.

"Compensation can be a powerful tool for reinforcing a company's strategy and long-term success," said Koors. "The most valuable advice goes beyond benchmarking to help boards make decisions that reflect their organization's unique goals, leadership, and culture. I'm honored to be recognized for work that is fundamentally about helping our clients succeed."

A 19-time Directorship 100 honoree, Koors has more than 30 years of experience advising boards and management teams on executive compensation and governance. She is an NACD Governance Fellow and Master Class faculty member, helping organizations align compensation and human capital strategies with long-term value creation.
