The list of the highest paid CEOs in the US in 2023 was released by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. The Indian-origin CEO of Palo Alto Network, Nikesh Arora, came second on the list with an impressive compensation of $151.43 million. Notably, Nikesh Arora’s compensation was much higher than many high-profile tech executives such as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s $24.40 million and Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s $8.8 million.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

But who exactly is Nikesh Arora? Here’s a look at everything you need to know about the Palo Alto Network CEO.<\/p>\n

Who is Nikesh Arora?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Nikesh Arora completed his primary education at the Air Force Public School in Delhi before going on to earn a Bachelor of Technology (B Tech) degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT-BHU. Even before his stint at Palo Alto Network, Arora had made a name for himself in the tech world through his work with major companies such as Google and Softbank.<\/p>\n

Notably, Arora became the highest paid executive at Google<\/a> in 2012 when the company hired him with a $51 million package. By the end of his time with the Silicon Valley-based company, Nikesh Arora had collected stock awards worth at least $200 million.<\/p>\n

During his time at Softbank<\/a> Group, Arora also set a new record in Japan with a mammoth first-year compensation package of $135 million. People at the company saw him as the successor to legendary investor Masayoshi Son, according to a Bloomberg report earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Palo Alto Network<\/a> has previously justified its CEO’s hefty pay package by pointing to the tech executive’s strong performance. In a statement on Arora’s compensation package, Palo Alto Network said last year: \u201cBecause of this significant vested ownership and the amount that Mr. Arora was projected to vest in over the next several years, the Board determined that a meaningful equity award would be necessary to ensure that such award retains and engages Mr. Arora,”<\/p>\n
