Roundtable Breakfast “The IRO is A Strategic Advisor To the Board” – True Or False, 4 December 2015, Frankfurt

Fidelio Partners, the Board Development and Executive Search consultancy, and Citi Depositary Receipt Services are pleased to invite you to a Roundtable IR Breakfast to debate “The IRO is a strategic advisor to the Board – True or False?”. The strategic value of the IR function has attracted much attention. Based on our IR Executive Search expertise, Fidelio recently co-authored, “Plea-for-Strategic-IR” which examined:

• Why is strategic IR important in today’s marketplace?
• What are the obstacles to IR as a strategic function?
• What does a strategic IRO look like?

Drawing on these themes, the breakfast will be attended by Senior Investor Relations Directors from the DAX and other leading German and international companies to share their views on the value the IR function brings and, indeed, what strategic IR looks like. The debate will be moderated by Gillian Karran-Cumberlege, founder of Fidelio Partners and former Global Head of IR Volkswagen AG.

We would like you to join us for this IR Breakfast which promises to be a stimulating and lively discussion among IR peers.

The Frankfurt breakfast will follow hot on the heels of a London breakfast (highlights of this breakfast is now available online at Fidelio Table Talk) which we are pleased to say is already oversubscribed with leading FTSE IR Directors – also in attendance will be CFOs and Chairmen.

This breakfast is by invitation only.
