Hello LinkedIn!
As we are now more than halfway through 2021, I think this serves as an appropriate time to share some career milestones with all of you.
I celebrated my 1st year work anniversary at Q4 earlier in May, but I must be honest and note that it feels like I have been at this organization for much longer. My co-workers from various teams across Q4 and their wealth of knowledge has helped me get well acquainted with the industry-leading services we continue to deliver for IROs and Investor Relations teams across North America and Europe.
More importantly, while I have continued to learn and grow within my role at Q4, I have never felt out of place and built a strong connection with my colleagues that has motivated me to continue pushing myself and discover new avenues to expand my familiarity with the IR industry and our services. I was fortunate to be surrounded by individuals that have spent decades in the IR industry, as well as empathetic, incredible leaders that have helped direct my learnings and development and pave the road for future career growth based on my skillset and experience.
While I have had an incredible past year working as a Squad Investor Relations Lead within the IRSP (Q4’s Investor Relations Success
Platform - A team dedicated to managing our full-suite clients), I would like to take this time to share that I have been promoted to the role of an Analyst within our IRSP Center of Excellence!
Firstly, a heartfelt thank you to my Team Lead Shantana T. for being an incredible leader that has helped me throughout my time as a Squad IRL, with appropriate guidance and direction to manage our clients in alignment with Q4’s standards. Secondly, I have unending gratitude for knowledgeable thought leadership from our Director of Client Experience Jessica Dama Anderson, as well as our current Director of Client Enablement Rob Kohal. Additionally, I would like to sincerely thank our Investor Relations Partner John Nunziati, as well as our Senior Manager of Center of Excellence, Peter Bonetta, for sharing their perspective, expertise, and experience in their respective fields to help direct me towards the right fit regarding my career and ensure a successful transition to my new role. Finally, I would like to applaud our VP of Client Experience Karen Greene for being a role model for all of us and setting the bar high for what leadership should look like in this current day and age. It will be a bittersweet transition as I leave an awesome team of IRLs that have given me a sense of purpose, motivation, and family within Q4, but I am excited for the growth and learnings that lie ahead in my new role, and I am ready to take on this new chapter of my life both from a professional and personal standpoint. Here’s to many more years of growth, learnings, and success here at Q4! #Q4orce #Hustle #Grind #Grow
