In this episode, Clara speaks with Oskar Yasar, Managing Partner at Broome Yasar Partnership and author of The Global IR Revolution. Drawing on more than 30 years in financial communications, capital markets and executive search, Oskar shares how IR has shifted from a back-office function to a strategic, globally connected discipline.
They discuss what defines a standout IRO today, how expectations from boards and CEOs have evolved, and why the talent pool has become more competitive. Oskar also touches on compensation trends, the importance of personal branding, and the growing career pathways from IR into broader leadership roles.
He closes with a forward look at how AI will reshape reporting and communications — and why he remains highly optimistic about the future of the IR profession.
