Edwin Alexanian
Operations/Client Relationship Manager
Edwin began his share plans career working for SmithKline Beecham where he started as a Share Plans Administrator. After the merger with Glaxo Welcome, GlaxoSmithKline took steps to outsource their share plan administration to CitiGroup. During this process Edwin took on the role of managing the data transfer where he gained invaluable skills in the technical and system side of share plan administration.
In February 2003 Edwin joined the Reuters in-house share plans team in order to project manage a thorough audit of all historical share plan data, which was being transferred to Computershare; who at the time were appointed as the Reuters Share Plans Administrators. After successfully completing this project, Edwin remained at Reuters
taking on the role of Share Plans Adviser covering all aspects of the Reuters share plans from communication and marketing to the overall management of the share plan administration.
With his next role as Client Manager at The Share Option Centre he could provide share plan management services to a portfolio of diverse companies from high-tech start-ups to established Stock Exchange quoted companies.
Edwin has worked closely with many third party share plan administrators whilst working for two blue-chip companies, this experience gives him an edge in the industry in terms of his knowledge base on both sides of the fence for his position of UK Operations Manager for Global Shares.
