Career advice from lifetime achievement winner

Sally Curley, founder and CEO of Curley Global IR, was in reflective mood when IR Magazine caught up with her on the red carpet at the US awards earlier this year.

Curley, who has more than 30 years of experience in investor relations, was just minutes away from being presented with the lifetime achievement award. When asked for advice for aspiring IR professionals, she said: ‘Be true to yourself. It’s a very difficult profession and often you can question yourself, especially earlier in your career. Trust your gut.’
