Dan Labbad working out notice ahead of start next year
New Crown Estate chief executive Dan Labbad will take a 拢1m pay cut when he joins the developer from Lendlease next year.
According to Lendlease鈥檚 latest annual report Labbad, who is currently the chief executive of its European business as well as its international operations, was paid a basic salary of A$1.14m in the year to last June which rose to A$2.94m once bonuses and other payments were taken into account.
In a note accompanying its renumeration report, Lendlease said it used an exchange rate of 拢0.57 for Labbad鈥檚 pay meaning his basic salary last year was 拢653,000 with his total pay close to 拢1.7m.
The Crown Estate鈥檚 latest annual report for 2017/18 shows that current chief executive Alison Nimmo was paid 拢622,000 which included a 拢247,000 bonus on top of her 拢335,000 basic salary.
One rival admitted: 鈥淚 can鈥檛 comprehend why he would leave Lendlease for a lot less money.鈥�
Lendlease鈥檚 accounts show that Labbad, who is listed as a senior executive but does not sit on the firm鈥檚 main board, is on a notice period of six months. A Lendlease spokesperson confirmed yesterday he would be working out his notice to ensure a 鈥渟mooth transition鈥� in the process to find his replacement.
According to its 2018 report and accounts, Lendlease鈥檚 overseas operations, which also include Asia and the Americas, had revenues of A$6.3bn (拢3.45bn) which included A$900m (拢493m) of revenue from Europe.
