Jane founded Investor Relations Department Pty Ltd in 2008 in response to the demand for highly experienced investor relations and corporate communications support on a contracted basis. She has more than 15 years’ experience providing specialist communications consultancy to clients across investor and public relations, marketing and corporate communications.

Jane is passionate about working with companies and initiatives that deliver positive global impact. She has worked with hundreds of clients, listed and unlisted, from micro-caps to ASX top 50 and has overseen more than 80 secondary capital raises, many IPOs and M&A campaigns, and has a strong network of domestic and international investor and media contacts.

Prior to founding IR Department, Jane led the Sydney investor communications team for what is now WE Communications (then Buchan Consulting) and was the head of IR and PR at Geodynamics Limited, a (then) ASX300 company.

Jane was a founding member of online investor communications group IRM, where she drove successful electronic investor relations strategies for listed companies across a diverse range of industries and built a strong balance sheet for the IRM business. Earlier, she worked in roles that successfully positioned private businesses for trade sale.
