Step-by-Step: Keys to a Successful Global ESPP

Our popular “Meet the Speaker” series, featuring interviews with speakers at the 25th Annual NASPP Conference, is a great way to get to know our many distinguished speakers and find out a little more about their sessions in advance of the Conference.

For today’s “Meet the Speaker” interview, we feature an interview with Jon Doyle of International Law Solutions, who will lead the session “Step-by-Step: Keys to a Successful Global ESPP.”  Here is what Jon had to say:

NASPP: Why is a session on global ESPPs particularly timely right now?

Jon: There is an increased interest in offering ESPPs globally. Whether a company is considering offering its ESPP globally for the first time or has been offering it for years worldwide, there are more challenges to offering an ESPP globally than other types of equity awards.

NASPP: What is one best practice companies should implement?

Jon: Companies should engage in a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether there is sufficient interest in country before deciding to move forward.

NASPP: What is the silver lining to implementing a global ESPP?

Jon: With some careful planning and by following a step-by-step approach, companies can have a successful global ESPP.

NASPP: What is your favorite tourist attraction in DC?

Jon: The National Mall.
