About Monique Skruzny
As CEO of InspIR Group, I lead a team collaborating with global public and private companies in emerging and growth environments. Our mission is to elevate and redefine the value of their investor relations and sustainability initiatives through strategic storytelling and expert counsel grounded in extensive experience, analytics, and research. I work at the dynamic intersection of industry leaders and disruptors, spanning various sectors, delivering innovative solutions and support as a trusted advisor. As a working mother, I champion female leadership and manage multiple moving parts to ensure our team delivers customized, impactful programs to our clients. My team and I work with clients to implement best practices in investor and sustainability communications across the financial services & fintech, consumer and retail, energy & resources, real estate, health care industries, among others. We facilitate access to new sources of capital, address investor activist issues and guide companies through IPO processes. With a track record of advising on some of the most iconic IPOs, including Nubank, I champion transparency and best practices through education initiatives for issuers and boards. Before InspIR, I co-founded MBS Value Partners, an investor relations firm focused on enhancing liquidity and valuation for companies in the emerging markets, healthcare, and professional services. At AOL, I served as VP of Corporate Affairs of its LatAm platform, overseeing investor relations, comms, and public affairs. Additionally, I co-founded an acclaimed internet platform supporting female entrepreneurs. As CFO and COO of Melia's Americas hotel group, I managed financial performance, led financing strategies for acquisitions and developments, and coordinated the company's public listing on the Spanish stock exchange. At Fox Television, I spearheaded partnership development and business planning for Latin America's first pan-regional DTH satellite system as VP of Business Development. My career began in corporate and investment banking. I hold positions on the Executive Board of the Wharton School and the Advisory Board of Lienso and have served on the Boards of Pro Mujer and the Council of the Americas. I've been recognized as a Woman of Influence in New York City and as one of the Most Powerful Women in Latin American Internet. I’m the proud mother of a teenage boy and two mini Aussies (who practically do back flips when I come home from travel). I enjoy travel adventures, hiking, skiing and feel incredibly fortunate to live in the Bay Area.
