Rick Gimbert

Mountain States Employer’s Council hosted Birchtree Global’s executive staff for a day long global startup work out session with C-Suite corporate executives. The Global 20(c) takes business leaders through the 20 critical infrastructure decisions that must be made when a company moves from domestic to global operations. The corporate strategy focus of the program, extensive peer-reviewed data, and the 100+ country startup experience of the instructors contributed to exceptional feedback from the executives in the program. Janet Walsh, CEO of Birchtree Global brought Jim McGuirk and Rick Gimbert

as instructors. Jim McGuirk shared his experiences with large companies as president of Unisys Corporation, and his experience accelerating technology company growth into the INC 500 top ten. Rick Gimbert provided the global CPA perspective on creating a firm-wide tax strategy for macro strategic decisions. He also provided the micro tax perspective, with expatriate tax planning, assignment letters, and employment contracts. Janet Walsh discussed legal issues, foreign location incentives, human resources strategy, ethics, data protection, and resources.
