Today, I lead our investor relations products and services across websites, newsrooms and shareholder engagement, supporting hundreds of our public company customers as well as emerging companies preparing to enter the public markets.

Additionally, my team and I also manage the New York Stock Exchange subsidy whistleblower product in implementation for some of the world's largest and most recognizable brands.
