Gemma started her investor relations career at Makinson Cowell, now part of Lazard in London, where she was instrumental in creating a European client base, making it the fastest growing geography for the firm.  During her long tenure, Gemma developed a comprehensive understanding of global equities markets, value creation strategies and message delivery, with a sharp attention for ESG integration into investment portfolios, for linking material risks to sustainable business strategy and purpose, and for alignment with the SDGs.  She is highly skilled at developing strategic investor relations programs to improve investors’ understanding of client companies and help expand the credibility of management teams.

In her free time, Gemma contributes to financial wellness education, particularly for teenage girls.  She firmly believes financial wellness is strongly linked to physical and mental health and leads to improving lives.
