MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Highland Group, a leading global business consulting firm, today announced it has established its Americas base in Miami. Located at 1390 Brickell Avenue, the office is in the heart of South Florida’s premier financial district.
“We are pleased to locate our new base for the Americas in Miami,” said Hugo Melgarejo, Chief Executive Officer, The Highland Group Americas. “Because finance and private equity are two of our key practice areas, it is fitting to make Brickell, the Wall Street of the South, our new home. We look forward to becoming an active member of Greater Miami’s business and civic communities.”
The move to Miami also reflects The Highland Group’s rapid growth in Latin America, where the firm has expanded its offices in São Paulo, Brazil, and Santiago, Chile. Since its launch in Brazil two years ago, The Highland Group has secured numerous engagements with industry-leading clients throughout the LATAM region.
“Making our home in Miami, the gateway to Latin America, affords us better access to the LATAM region, home to some of the most vibrant, emerging markets in the world,” said Melgarejo. “This move will allow us to better serve our Pan-American clients, and is the next logical step in the evolution of The Highland Group as we continue to expand our capabilities around the world.”
The Highland Group Americas grew significantly during 2010 and 2011 and is projecting continued growth in 2012. The company is experiencing particular momentum in the mining, logistics, transportation, oil and gas, manufacturing and private equity sectors. Areas of client need this year include back-office efficiency, mining and manufacturing throughput, material and inventory management, procurement, sales effectiveness, cost control, maintenance, safety, and working capital management.
