I joined Spencer Stuart in June of 2016 as an associate in the Boston office and a member of the Global Technology, Media and Telecommunications Practice. Spencer Stuart is one of the world's leading global consulting firms; we specialize in senior-level executive search and board director appointments, and also offer our clients a robust suite of leadership advisory services. As part of the Investor Relations team at Akamai Technologies, I was responsible for supporting the Head of IR in executing our global investor relations strategy. Our primary objective was to educate and update investors about Akamai, with the goal of ensuring that the company is properly valued. In my previous role, I helped translate dense financial data into simple and actionable information for Senior Management at Signator Investors, as well as acted as a liaison between the Finance Department and the individual Work Area managers.
