‘It strengthens your credibility, reinforces you as a trusted source and makes you a go-to person internally’: Technip Energies’ Phillip Lindsay on winning two IR Impact awards

Vice president of investor relations at engineering and technology firm says that the key is to focus less on reporting activity and more on explaining the impact to investors

For many IR teams, reaching the top of their profession can be a long process. For Phillip Lindsay, vice president of investor relations, Technip Energies.

But for those who follow IR Impact, the ascent of Technip Energies – a French, Euronext Paris-listed engineering and technology company that services the energy industry and chemicals sector – to IR excellence has been a little swifter. Appearing on three shortlists at the IR Impact Awards – 2025, but winning no trophies, the team returned this year and scooped two gongs: those for best overall investor relations (mid-cap) and best investor relations officer (mid-cap) for Lindsay himself.

Lindsay also spoke at our Think Tank earlier that same day, where he shared his best practices for separating the signal from over-abundance of noise in the modern capital markets.

The wrong thing to do is reporting feedback or data without the interpretation or the view that goes alongside that,’ he told the audience. ‘Too often we share raw data or numbers with limited analysis, or what investors said, but not really what it means or how representative it is.’

Below, he tells us more about his route into the head of IR seat at Technip Energies, his philosophy and approach to the IR function and why winning a pair of awards came at a particularly poignant moment in the company’s trajectory – as well as his personal life.
