Michael Bayes

Mr. Bayes was born in London, UK and began working early in life, with business taking him to China, Saudi Arabia, Scotland and England — allowing him an incredibly varied look at the business world. He then moved to the US and began a successful career as an investment advisor, working for both regional brokerage firms and large wire houses. Later, life then led him into the world of investor relations, where he advanced to the role of president of a premier California-based IR firm.

Redwood Empire Financial Communications has the experience to successfully help your company in setting up meetings, road shows and presentations around the world. Success in these areas can greatly improve valuations and aid in helping investors to fully appreciate your company's investment story.

Our Philosophy

Quality over quantity

It's not the number of investor introductions we organize that matters — it's the quality of the fit. We'd rather make ten well-matched introductions than a hundred generic ones.

Our Commitment

Long-term partnership

We consider every partnership with a portfolio company a long-term relationship. We plan to work alongside each company for years, not months, and treat every IR strategy as something that should evolve as the company's needs do.

"We plan to be associated with each company for years, not months — and we'll always shape the IR strategy around what that individual company needs." — Redwood EFC
