Independent Investor Relations Advisory

Advisory

Senior-level counsel for listed and pre-IPO companies - on what you tell the market, how consistently you tell it, and whether the function behind it can carry the story.

After twenty years inside listed companies, I reached a straightforward conclusion: most valuation gaps are not disclosure problems. The filings are on time and the numbers are accurate. What is missing is a single, consistent account of the business - and investors price that absence.

My work begins there. What story is the market actually receiving, and does it match the one the company intends to tell?

IR Positioning Review

A review of what the market currently understands about your company, where that understanding came from, and where it diverges from what you intend.

The review works through a 120-question assessment framework across ten areas: Valuation architecture and strategic narrative · Strategic alignment · Targeting and investor engagement · Disclosure, transparency and reporting cadence · Market intelligence and feedback loops · Governance and board interface · Sustainability · IR operations, team and technology · Crisis and scenario preparedness · Activism preparedness (assessed where relevant). Findings are scored and cross-checked against public information.

IPO & Listing Readiness

An equity story built for a roadshow is not the same as one that can withstand a full reporting cycle. The work here is to build an investor relations function that can carry the story after the listing, not only through it.

Equity Story & IR Strategy

The ongoing work of investor relations: what the company says about itself, whether that story holds up under scrutiny, and which investors it should be saying it to.

For
CEOs, CFOs, and IR leads of listed companies
Format
Project-based, or a continuing advisory relationship

Beyond these three

Engagements also address AI readiness for IR functions, as well as sustainability and ESG communication, where reporting has outgrown the story it was meant to support. If your situation does not fit the descriptions above, it is still worth having a conversation.

Most engagements begin with a review and build from there.

I achieved these results from inside the companies. I now do the same work as an outside advisor.

How I Work

Independent

No brokerage, no transaction fees, no vendor relationships. Guidance focused solely on your long-term position in the market.

Senior-level, hands-on

You work directly with me - not a junior team.

Capability transfer

Every engagement leaves your team stronger, with frameworks and materials you own and continue to use.

International reach, emerging-market grounding

Twenty years in a market where volatility is the norm rather than the exception. Training, speaking, and panel engagements across Europe and the UK, including London, with professional IR bodies in Türkiye, Switzerland, Belgium, Bulgaria, and Romania. Working languages: English, Turkish and German.

Practical about technology

I built the assessment framework behind the Positioning Review myself, without a technical team. I use these tools in my own work rather than recommending them from a distance, which is why I can tell you where they help and where they don't.

Who I work with

Listed companies whose IR function is small, newly built, or carrying more than its headcount suggests - and pre-IPO companies preparing to become listed.

From BIST issuers to international small- and mid-caps.

Common questions

Let’s talk about your IR agenda

Every engagement starts with a short conversation to understand where you are and where you want to be. No obligation.
