Investor Relations in the 21st Century

... Or fencing on a tightrope in the eye of the storm...

After two plus decades on the firing line in Investor Relations I have as many questions now as I did when I started – just different questions. Traders outnumber investors; markets are increasingly fragmented and opaque; technology outpaces regulation, All these trends are transforming the IR landscape today and into the future. RiskRewardNews is where I intend to search for insight and answers. Join me in conversation with market participants, CEOs, CFOs, IROs, academics, regulators, and informed observers as the financial market of the 21st Century takes shape.

Uncertain or Under Fire? Ask the Experts

I participated in a webcast sponsored by the NIRI Chicago and Virtual Chapters titled: Uncertain or Under Fire? Ask the Experts

Participants were:

  • Moderator: Lisa Ciota, director of investor relations, McDonald’s Corp.

We got great questions from the audience. Topics covered included: 
earnings pre-announcements, spin-offs, social media, corporate politics, conflicts with outside advisors, health issues with a CEO, gaining managment support for IR, the media impact on IR programs, and IR's role in strategic intelligence.
