He arrives as former CEO Thorsten Heins leaves the company. Heins was paid considerably less, $9 million last year.

It's still not clear what Heins' exit will cost the company. He has an exit package worth up to $56 million. But currently his departure is being positioned as a resignation. Under that scenario, Heins would leave with nothing.
