Lessons from a Head of IR
In this episode, Nick shares stories from his career, starting from his time studying law to getting involved in corporate strategy and business development, before making the move into IR. We hear how his experiences have shaped his career, including 17 years in corporate strategy, business development and IR at AstraZeneca, and how his experience provided him with a unique skillset for furthering his career in investor relations at GSK.
Nick explains the challenges of leading a large IR team, the importance of good internal communication, and how IROs can learn from peers to combat challenges and grow their careers. We also touch on the role of AI in IR. For Nick, while it provides opportunities to streamline workflow, his advice is that IROs should remain cautious when using it.
