Global Shares, a leading global provider of equity compensation management solutions, presents its new Hong Kong Team and Office!
Global Shares continues to drive its international growth strategy forward with the establishment of Global Shares Hong Kong Limited, a new office and a new local team.
Global Shares Hong Kong Limited, a subsidiary of the Irish-owned, Irish headquartered Global Shares plc, has chosen a central location in Wan Chai as its new base. The company’s office is on Lockhart Road in the metropolitan business district of the city on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, close to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the International Finance Centre and Victoria Harbour.
The company’s presence in the heart of Hong Kong will bring the company closer to the Asian market, provide targeted and comprehensive on-site support to customers in the Asian region and help to meet the future requirements of Asian-speaking clients. The company has also launched a Chinese website, giving detailed information in simplified Chinese on its equity compensation management solutions, which include a market-leading software platform, share plan administration, share-dealing, global custody and financial reporting services for companies and their employees globally.
At an event hosted by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR Government, Global Shares was thanked as a newly established foreign company in Hong Kong for its contribution to the economy. Pictured at the event was Claire Purcell, who helped to set up the new Global Shares Hong Kong Operation, with numerous representatives from companies in Hong Kong.
Signing the Hong Kong Government ‘Wall of Fame’
During the event Claire was given the honour of signing the Hong Kong Government’s ‘Wall of Fame’, which now features the Global Shares’ logo and is displayed in the Government’s Offices, helping to give visibility and connect all new businesses in the city.
“Global Shares arrival in Hong Kong is a significant investment in the Asian region and we are delighted to be able to extend our service offering to our growing base of clients in Asia and expand our operation into a new time zone offering local support and face-to-face contact, removing the complexities of growing Global Shares business internationally. We are delighted to welcome Dara Murphy to our Team as General Manager Hong Kong. Dara has been based in Hong Kong & Shenzhen for over 10 years, gaining diverse business management experience in the technology sector as well as operations, supply chain management and start-ups.
