Particularly Notable Davis Center (Central Office) Staff Pay Raises Between September 2024 and April 2025

Per person salaries at the Davis Center increased substantially during the eight months between September 2024 and April 2025.  Below I give particularly notable salary increases at the upper echelons of staff at the Davis Center, listed in order from greatest increase to least, and with dividing lines indicating categories of increase (note the first two increases, for Scott Weber and Ryan Strack, are significantly higher than others). 

 

Be aware that the lower percentage increase for Ibrahima Diop is most likely explained by his returning to the single role as Senior Finance Officer, dropping the Senior Operations Officer title that was added to his portfolio for 20 months (between 1 July 2022 and February 2024).
