CN’s Janet Drysdale on analyst days showcasing a broad array of executives

At the IR Magazine Canada Awards 2014, Janet Drysdale, VP of IR at CN, won best investor relations officer (large cap) after her first full year in the position. CN also won best investment community meetings, best corporate governance and best IR in the transport sector.

Drysdale also discusses CN’s analyst days, which are highly praised by analysts and investors in the awards survey, and describes how the most recent one shone the spotlight deep into the organization, for example with ‘vignettes’ on different topics.
