Casey Gao Associate Director

Having worked in corporate M&A and investor relations in my previous job, I’m fascinated by the capital markets and particularly investor relations. As a leading IR firm with extensive expertise, Piacente offers incredible opportunities to advance in the field – working for Piacente will broaden my horizons and utilize my talents.

Working on earning call scripts and press releases and polishing them until they shine is a very gratifying experience that combines my enthusiasm for IR with my passion for English writing. A refined and elegant style highlights a company’s performance and makes a favorable impression on investors, and learning about a company’s business model in the process is always inspiring and eye-opening.

Piacente works side-by-side with clients as their partner to develop a customized IR program. We take the time to learn about our clients’ business and unique needs to provide tailored IR solutions and in-depth financial communications.

My previous work experience in investor relations and corporate M&A ushered me into the fascinating world of IR. Years of training and working as a professional interpreter/translator has enhanced my English language proficiency and ability to translate Chinese and English as well as my understanding of financial communications and IR messaging. My CFA Level I and MBA studies deepened my knowledge of the capital markets and company operations, enabling me to better understand clients’ business and communicate company value to investors.

Piacente is home to a dynamic team of highly competent and efficient professionals. Working alongside them is a great learning experience. Piacente also provides exposure to an exceptional array of innovative companies and industries. It’s exciting to observe and communicate their growth and vitality to the wider market.
