Can someone explain the following?

1. Is it natural for CFO's to receive that many options? The executive compensation chart looks like CFO receives much more than anyone else. 2. https://imgur.com/a/Jl6W1P8 Do they not share the % shares owned by everyone until IPO?

The rest of the executives probably having ownership. If the CFO was a late hire, their compensation comes from the options. I haven't done much research on the CFO but many companies bring in a CFO as they prepare to IPO

It's based on timing of hires. These are grants over a fixed time period. The others have shares vesting from before.
