"It's always the small pieces that make the big picture"
Matthew Abenante, IRC
President and Founder
Matt has been an investor relations practitioner for over 10 years – most of those in leadership roles. He is adept at wearing many hats and managing complicated workflows efficiently.
In all of Matt’s past positions he has consistently increased metrics relating to shareholder engagement, shareholder inventory, client boarding and retention, and more. He has successfully developed and implemented investor relations plans, reworked strategy, increased shareholder bases, refined messaging and discovered new growth opportunities and strategic partnerships.
Matt graduated with honors with a Masters in Investor Relations from Fordham University and is part of the inaugural cohort of practitioners to complete the Investor Relations Charterholder (IRC) from the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI). These bodies of knowledge, along with his service to startups and small-cap companies, support him well in knowing how best to navigate the investment community creatively and technically, while still adhering to the client’s bottom-line business considerations.
