PPHC Launches Concordant Advisory

 

Supports organic growth and expands PPHC's offering in corporate advisory
services

 

Public Policy Holding Company, Inc., the government relations and public
affairs group of companies providing a comprehensive range of advisory
services, is pleased to announce the launch of Concordant Advisory
("Concordant"), a new Group operating entity that integrates its policy
expertise and communications capabilities.

 

Delivering results under a unified plan, team, and pricing structure,
Concordant will provide its clients with industry-leading government
relations, public affairs, audience insight capabilities and full-service,
strategic communications.

 

Based in Chicago, Concordant will be led by Sarah Wills, CEO. Ms Wills is a
former Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at
Cardinal Health, where she presided over communications, government relations,
enterprise marketing and brand. Prior to Cardinal Health, Sarah served in
leadership roles within government relations, communications and strategy at
GE, and led corporate affairs at Tempus, an AI-enabled precision medicine
business. Before her corporate career, Sarah spent fifteen years in politics
and policy, initially as an Associate for David Axelrod and Associates, then
several years as a Legislative Assistant on Capitol Hill, Senior Policy
Counsel to the Governor of New Jersey, and Executive Director for New Jobs
for New York, a 501(c)(3) launched by then U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham
Clinton.

 

Concordant will build multi-disciplinary teams to service client organisations
that are investing for long-term growth and resilience, such as AI, progress
towards a healthier planet, advancements in precision medicine and the
reconfiguration of global supply chains.

 

Stewart Hall, CEO of PPHC, commented:

"Today's launch of Concordant is aligned with PPHC's organic growth strategy
and will accelerate our expansion into the growing market for corporate
advisory solutions.

 

"I'm pleased to welcome Sarah to PPHC and look forward to partnering with her
to continue to build and integrate PPHC's unique bi-partisan policy expertise,
nationwide coverage, in addition to broad public affairs and communications
capabilities across our operating companies."

 

Sarah Wills, CEO of Concordant, added:

"Globally, policy and politics shape every major market theme, from technology
driven growth opportunities, to the risks generated from shifting geopolitics
and monetary policy. In today's uniquely dynamic market, Concordant is set to
further empower c-suite leaders and boards with more control over their
operating landscapes."
