GEO SPAIN CHAPTER MEETING

SPEAKERS: 
AUGUSTINE SERBAN, MAGNUM ICE CREAM COMPANY 
ANTONIO CARCELES, EY 
GIANPAOLO MOSCHETTI, OPTIO INCENTIVES 
CESAREA SANCHEZ, SANOMA 
JAIME PAVIA, CUATRECASAS 
ANA GONZALEZ, IAG

 

Join us in Madrid for a GEO Chapter meeting exploring what’s working—and what isn’t—in Spanish equity plans, and how aligning incentives can drive long-term success. 

SESSION ONE – Spanish Equity Plans: What Is and Isn’t Working
In this session, three leading equity experts will explore the strengths and weaknesses of the current equity landscape in Spain. Discussion will focus on the €12,000 tax benefit currently available and whether revisions are needed to create a more supportive environment for equity incentive plans.

SESSION TWO – Aligning Incentives: Transforming Performance Frameworks into Equity Success
The alignment of equity incentive plans—both short-term incentives (STI) and long-term incentives (LTI)—with business strategy is essential to driving organizational success. While STI metrics often target annual performance, LTI metrics are designed to reinforce long-term strategic objectives. This session will examine how to structure both effectively so they strengthen a company’s vision and mission, foster sustainable growth, and maximize shareholder value.

LOCATION
C. de Almagro, 9

Both GEO members and non-members are welcome.  There is no cost for this chapter meeting, but registration is required.
