Irwin

We are excited to announce a new chapter for Irwin today: we have entered into an agreement to be acquired by FactSet, a globally renowned leader in market data and analytics. FactSet has been part of our community since the very beginning. Our collaboration deepened when we launched a successful partnership in 2023, allowing us to integrate our CRM and IR workflows with FactSet’s financial data, analysis, and research. The positive market reaction and the significant benefits of our combined offering have already made an impact, but we know the best of our partnership is yet to come. Irwin and FactSet share the same vision for the future of capital markets, and together, we have an incredible opportunity to deliver that vision. This acquisition enhances our ability to support the IR community, ensuring you receive increased levels of service, product development, and the chance for your feedback to shape the future of investor relations. We are deeply grateful for everyone who has supported Irwin on this journey. Your belief in our mission has made this progress possible, and we’re committed to creating lasting value in the capital markets community as we move forward.

As an IRO, you’re at the intersection of strategy and finance—skills that can lead directly to the #CFO role if you know how to leverage them. That’s exactly what Michaella Gallina did.
