Pics and a Poll
For this week’s blog entry, I have pictures from the 11th Annual CEP and Silicon Valley NASPP Symposium and a short poll about what you think should be changed about stock compensation.
Tech writer and SCU adjunct professor Mike Malone presented the opening keynote. Mike ended with an 11-point program on things that it would be nice to change about stock compensation, including some controversial ideas. What do you think? I’ve included my (somewhat loose) interpretation of Mike’s ideas in a poll below; tell me which ones you’d like to see happen. Click here to participate if you can’t see the poll below.
Christine Zwerling of SOS, Josh McGinn of AST, and Connie Rawson of salesforce.com presented the much less controversial afternoon plenary on “How to Plan Nicely with Others.” One bit of advice from the panel: “Never underestimate the power of a well-timed donut.”
A couple of icons in the stock compensation world, Becky Broussard of Broussard & Associates and Susan Garvin of GoPro, catch up before attending an afternoon break-out session.
James Tozer and Zach Crumpton of E*TRADE chat with Debbie Tsoi-a-Sue of LendingClub in the E*TRADE booth.
More familiar faces! Paz Marie Dizon of Tesla, Lauren Downes of FitBit, and Marianne Friebel of Dolby, all long-time members of the NASPP and CEPs, network at the closing reception.
