Global Shares, the market-leading provider of equity compensation software and administration services, is pleased to announce the appointment of Hugh Curran as Vice President & General Manager of Global Shares in the US.
Hugh brings a wealth of operations, client management and business development experience to the role and will be primarily responsible for developing Global Shares sales strategy in the US and managing the field and in-house sales teams, at our New Jersey offices.
Hugh joined Global Shares in 2012 and learned the business initially as a Business Analyst at the company’s Irish Headquarters, before moving to the US to set up Operations for the company’s West Coast clients.
Progressing rapidly, Hugh worked as Team Manager in Operations and Client Relationship Manager before moving to a Business Development Executive role.
Hugh has a depth of knowledge of stock markets, financial economics and business management, having graduated and lectured in Cork’s Institute of Technology where he completed a Bachelor Degree in Business and a Master’s of Business Science in Financial Economics and Mathematics. He is an active member of several industry associations, including the Global Equity Organization (GEO), and also completed his Certified Equity Professional (CEP) exams.
Hugh’s promotion comes at a time of fast-paced growth for Global Shares. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved since the launch of our new Software in 2015, a turning point for our company. Since then our staff numbers have almost doubled in size, we’ve opened 3 new overseas offices, we’ve won fantastic clients in multiple new markets and added share dealing and brokerage services to our offering. We are delighted to appoint Hugh as our Vice President and General Manager for the US. He has learned our business from the ground up. He has great charisma, fresh thinking and is highly driven to build on our success to date.
Since joining Global Shares as an Operations Analyst back in 2012, I quickly gained an excellent knowledge of the business and of what this company was looking to achieve. Eager to help grow the company, I took the opportunity to move to the United States to set up our US base. This offered extra support to our US clients while also helped us to win new business. Moving into Sales was always an ambition of mine. I know we have the best product on the market and I am passionate to help make administration of stock plans as effortless as possible for our clients. I see Global Shares growing significantly from its current standing within the US market and I am delighted to be leading this charge.
