I am honoured to be invited onto the Certified Equity Professional Institute (CEPI) Advisory Board to work alongside an esteemed panel of members. I’ve always had the highest regard for the CEPI due to the depth of knowledge its programmes give into the equity compensation field, the expertise it provides to manage all the moving parts of an equity compensation plan and the excellent network of industry professionals it brings together. I’m really looking forward to working with the team there to drive initiatives forward and develop the CEP curriculum to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry.
