Conference leader and editor moves to IR advisory role
Neil Stewart, IR Magazine’s editorial director and global conference leader, will join Citi as vice president of investor relations advisory for the firm’s DR services.
Reporting to Citi DR’s global head of investor relations counsel, Beate Melten, Stewart will help clients develop and execute IR strategies globally.
‘We’re delighted for Neil and look forward to continuing to work with him through our strong partnership with Citi,’ says Ian Richman, president of IR Media Group, which publishes IR Magazine. ‘Through Citi’s sponsorship, we will be able to have Neil chair our upcoming Euro Leaders Think Tank on June 22.’
Stewart, who will start at Citi in mid-June, began his career in Montreal at Investor Relations International, a consulting firm, and News Features International, a financial writing agency.
He joined IR Magazine in 1996 as its first North American editor, based in New York, and in 2000 moved to London as editor-in-chief. He was instrumental in the investor perception studies that underpin the IR Magazine Awards globally and helped launch Corporate Secretary, the magazine focused on governance, risk and compliance, as well as the Corporate Governance Awards. Since 2005 he has been based in New York.
