And finally, multiple IR Impact award-winner and serving judge Janet Craig has launched her new IR and financial communications consultancy, Endeavour Capital Markets.
She writes on LinkedIn: ‘Last year, I stepped away from my 30-year career in investor relations to reflect on what was next. I didn’t know exactly when I would want to step back in, or exactly what it would look like. Until I did.
‘My love for the craft of investor relations and creating impact is undiminished. In fact, it has grown. So, I couldn’t be more excited and proud to be launching Endeavour with Linda Ezergailis and Sarah Lerner, as I am confident about the impact we will have with IR teams, C-suite and boards.’
