Governance Assessment
- Strengths: Independent status; perfect attendance; deep compensation governance experience as KBR Compensation Committee Chair; adherence to strong policies (anti-hedging/pledging; director ownership guidelines); no related-person transactions in 2024; board enhanced independence with Lead Independent Director amid CEO/Chair combination .
- Potential risk indicators to monitor:
- Dual compensation leadership roles (KBR and OXY): concentration of compensation influence across companies may raise perception risks; KBR discloses no committee interlocks and independence of members, mitigating direct conflict concerns .
- Multi-board commitments: Two other public boards within KBR limits; continued 100% attendance suggests current workload is manageable, but ongoing monitoring is prudent .
- Red Flags: None disclosed for Moore specifically; KBR reported no related-person transactions for 2024 and prohibits hedging/pledging; committee attendance and independence standards met .
