In early March, EQT hired a new Chief Operating Officer–Gary E. Gould, hired away from Harold Hamm at Continental Resources where he oversaw production and resource development (see EQT Hires New COO for $1.1M – Tells Him to Cut Costs). Gould is being paid $550,000 a year with a $500,000 signing bonus ($1.1 million total), for his first year. Turns out that doesn’t come close to the money he’ll make if he sticks around a few years.
