April 05, 2024
For the second consecutive year, Black Diamond Group and Jason Zhang, our Vice President of Capital Markets, Acquisitions, and Divestitures, have been nominated in two categories for the highly regarded IR Magazine Awards—Canada 2024.
The IR Magazine Awards—Canada 2024 took place on Thursday, April 4th, in Toronto, Ontario. The prestigious event, which has been held annually since 1996, recognizes excellence in the investor relations profession across Canada. Over the years, tens of thousands of analysts and investors have participated in the nomination and selection process, making it a true industry recognition event.
In the Awards by Research Category, which is determined through the input of hundreds of analysts and portfolio managers who deliberate over which companies provide the best IR service in Canada, Black Diamond Group was nominated for the Best Overall Investor Relations (Small Cap) Award, and Jason Zhang was nominated for the Best Investor Relations Officer (Small Cap) Award.
The Best Overall Investor Relations (Small Cap) Award category covers companies that have most impressed the investment community with their overall IR program, and the Best Investor Relations Officer category is for individual Investment Relations Officers (IROs) whose knowledge of their company and sector and ability to build relationships with investment community members and be transparent, accessible, and responsive sets them apart.
“These nominations for the second year in a row underscore the commitment and hard work demonstrated not only by Jason and his team, but everyone here at Black Diamond,” said Trevor Haynes, Chairman & CEO. “I am grateful to our dedicated team members for their hard work in driving our businesses forward.”
Jason has over 15 years of experience in finance, capital markets, corporate development, M&A, financial analysis, and strategic planning, and has been with Black Diamond for over seven years. Known for his exemplary leadership and a personality that blends humour with engagement, Jason is not only a pleasure to collaborate with but also a highly esteemed colleague and mentor to many.
“It’s an absolute honour to be nominated and included among some very impressive companies, but the credit really goes to the broader business itself,” said Jason Zhang, Vice President of Capital Markets, Acquisitions, and Divestitures. “The Company has been performing very well over the last several years, and that has only been possible through the hard work of our colleagues – so this is shared recognition for us all!”
