Edward Westropp – Lessons and Advice from Moving to an In-House IR Role

Many IR professionals start their careers in different roles within corporate finance, whether it’s within consultancy, data analysis, or capital markets. But each of those paths into IR comes with valuable insights and unique perspectives that can set you up for success. 

Before Edward Westropp, Head of IR and Communications at WE Soda Ltd, took the leap into an IR career, he came with bags of experience in strategy and communications. As he grew in his career, he found himself moving from a consultancy firm to an in-house position – something he was hesitant to do. However, since then, he’s found his in-house roles rewarding, challenging, and full of valuable lessons. He joined Enquire, the Investor Relations Podcast, to share his story. 

We hear Edward’s career backstory including his time navigating consultancy roles, communicating with board members, managing strategy around IPOs, and the inner workings of corporate finance. Edward shares his tips for entry-level IR professionals on the importance of networking, as well as his strategies for managing relationships with key investors during tricky market and business structure changes.
