Garry Wilson, Director IR Services - Eagle IR

Garry is an investor relations' consultant in his eighteenth year of working with US companies on their program development within Europe.  A former fund manager specializing in managing US equities with investment houses based in Edinburgh and London, his experience of working the investment process from both sides places him in a strong position to advise companies on how best to attract and build a meaningful audience with investors across Europe's major financial centers. 

His firm, Eagle IR, operates from the south coast of England, from where he is a regular traveler across Europe.  The firm's approach reflects his belief that the only successful way to build a satisfying relationship with investors is through regular, personal contact, and so while roadshows remain the basics of IR in Europe, he has differentiated his approach by a more proactive liaison role on behalf of clients in the often long periods between visits. 

Gary considers himself a generalist, just like many of the investors he deals with on a daily basis.  He works with companies drawn from across industries and of widely varying market capitalizations.  No company is too small to initiate a European IR program, while no company is too large to ignore the value of having a European program. 

Prior to entering the world of investment, he obtained a degree with honors in economics and psychology in his native Scotland, and several engineering diplomas.  Like many Scots, he enjoys golf, soccer and has never worn a kilt!
