Clermont Partners Launches Global Strategic Communications Offering

NEW YORK & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Clermont Partners, a boutique strategic communications firm, has announced its launch with principal offices in New York and Chicago, and strategic partnerships throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Clermont Partners offers a wide range of stakeholder relations counsel that addresses the nexus between financial communications and issues management. Its fundamental premise is a commitment to provide and execute sophisticated communications strategies which enable clients to realize their valuation and reputation objectives. Clermont Partners’ core capabilities are rooted in capital markets communications extending to global investor relations programs, mergers and acquisitions, IPOs and capital raisings, shareholder activism, complex corporate events, corporate and executive media programs, restructurings and the management of reputational and industry issues.

The landscape for public and private companies has become increasingly complex and traditional communications vehicles alone are no longer as effective in reaching all stakeholders. The convergence of increased market volatility, new communications channels, unparalleled regulatory scrutiny, the global competition for capital and the short-term focus of investors competing for alpha have brought fresh challenges to building and maintaining valuation and reputation. Today’s successful companies need communications strategies that have evolved into managing the new risks and seizing the unique opportunities that these changes present.

In addition, as the pace of corporate globalization has increased and investment capital flows more freely across borders, the ability to communicate in many geographies is required. Building on the firm’s deep experience with global engagements, Clermont Partners has built an alliance of like-minded partners in key financial centers to work seamlessly across the US, Europe and the Middle East to drive value for its clients.

Clermont Partners’ team has more than 75 years of combined experience and broad sector knowledge, expertise and global relationships with institutional investors, analysts, investment bankers, venture capital and private equity firms, financial as well as trade media and other influencers across the Healthcare and Life Sciences, Industrials, Energy, Telecommunications, Media & Technology and Consumer industries. They have architected financial and corporate relations programs for companies undertaking major acquisitions or corporate transformations, executing award-winning investor relations programs or managing reputational issues and crises.

The firm’s leadership team includes:

• Hugh Barker, founding partner, previously Managing Director and a cross-border leader of mergers and acquisitions in the UAE and New York at FTI Consulting;
• Chris Kettmann, founding partner, former head of Capital Markets for FTI Consulting’s Energy & Natural Resources Practice and a Senior Vice President at Ashton Partners;
