How should Investor Relations professionals navigate the current environment of volatility and macro turbulence? I joined Lori Keith and Tony Kim at IR Impact’s West Coast Think Tank 2025 to share our perspectives as veteran buy siders with a thoughtful and engaged group of investor relations professionals. Thanks to Steven Wade and Tim Human for having us! A few key takeaways: ?? Keep your IR message simple and consistent. In an increasingly noisy world, keep your investors focused on the long-term drivers of your business and your execution on those metrics. ??Irrespective of the political landscape and whatever we choose to call it, your investors will always want you to attract and retain the best talent of all backgrounds. Your investors will always care about strong corporate governance. ?? Be aware of and responsive to the current environment and investor concerns while staying focused on the strategies that you know will create long-term shareholder value. *********** Fellow investors: what advice would you share?
