How does IR set you up for a successful stint in the CFO role? In this episode of IR Voice, host Laurie Havelock speaks with Amrita Ahuja, CFO and COO at Block, about her career journey from investor relations at Activision Blizzard to leading financial strategy in fintech. Amrita shares insights on managing acquisitions, stakeholder communication and key values for IR teams.

The episode also highlights the IR Impact Awards – US 2025, where Duolingo took home multiple honors, including Best Overall Investor Relations (Mid-Cap). Laurie interviews industry leaders Laura Kiernan (NIRI’s New York Chapter), Julie Chariell (Fiserv) and Rebecca Gardy (Campbell’s) for perspectives on investor relations excellence, straight from the red carpet.
