no i wouldnt say that.
its a mistake to think only ceo's can drive investor relations. my experience is that a high quality ir person is better than a ceo at telling an investment story - as opposed too the company story. which can be two somewhat different things.
but there are many many cases of duel listed stocks that end up folding one listing or another because the demands of servicing both investment markets are too great
personally - i always felt that companies need share price support most when it is their income stream - ie whenever they still require cap raisings to finance growth or continued survival
ive always felt it made little sense to list in a jurisdiction you arent located in functionally when the share price is your lifeline to achieving your corporate goals
but like i say - for 2/3rds of the equity cycle that gap isnt apparent to the non initiate because sentiment keeps investor demand strong when the story isnt
for where it is now though - i think BUD's in the situation its in. No point crying on spilt milk.
So the messaging and targetting of the right investors is the key - not where the ceo happens to hang is hat.
