Questions about Ian Ward’s gross salary

Why is Ian Ward on the salary disclosure list?

Ranks and shares are among people on the same year’s list only: those with the same title, those at the same employer, or everyone listed. People paid under $75,000 are not on the list, so they are not counted.
