Meet The Team
ShareReporter’s team is formed of specialists in the global share plans sector. CEO Mike Pewton has worked in the industry for over 25 years, starting in the share plans division of Linklaters, before founding his own company, Global Share Plans. The company was acquired by Solium, and Mike went on to lead the compliance team there through to the sale of Solium to Morgan Stanley. Reliability is key for you and for the ShareReporter team. You can trust our data and we are committed to continuous development of our products. Our services are useful and practical, and we are easy to work with, down to earth and approachable. In launching ShareReporter, Mike has assembled a team with the creativity and tech skills to be able to offer something new and exciting to the sector. Integral to the ShareReporter business is our partnership with the global law firm CMS. CMS is a top-10 UK practice and has more than 4,800 lawyers at 70 offices within over 40 countries. The UK Share Plans team coordinates the tax and legal content that underpins our applications. They offer top-quality legal support to any of our clients who require it, and are expert in every aspect of share plans, from plan design to global filings. In addition, the CMS UK office is actively involved in the development of ShareReporter solutions. Together, we make a great team!
