BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Parthenon Group, a leading advisory firm focused on strategy consulting, continues to strengthen its economic analysis and thought leadership capabilities with the addition of economist Dr. Nigel Gault. Formerly Chief U.S. Economist at IHS Global Insight, Gault joins Parthenon’s longtime advisor and partner Dr. Roger Brinner as Co-Chief Economist.
The team of Gault and Brinner will counsel Parthenon’s clients in sorting through mountains of data to understand the impact of key economic indicators on business. As a team, they deliver deep expertise in macroeconomic analysis—each having spent time at IHS as well as earning Ph.D.’s. in Economics from Harvard University.
“Nigel’s impressive achievements in macroeconomic forecasting and analysis for the U.S. and Europe make him uniquely suited to help our clients address their business challenges,” said The Parthenon Group Chairman and Managing Partner, Bill Achtmeyer. “With these insights, our clients have the data-driven knowledge to make critical strategic decisions, impacting the profitability of their organizations. We are very fortunate to have Brinner and Gault working together as a team, strengthening the integration of macroeconomic analysis into our strategic casework and giving us even more depth to our bench.”
“I’m thrilled to join The Parthenon Group team,” said Gault. “I was initially drawn to their entrepreneurial and collaborative spirit. I look forward to working side by side with Roger, Bill, and the entire Parthenon team to help elevate the analytical work provided to Parthenon’s impressive stable of clients.”
Having spent the last 10 years at IHS, Gault recently held the position of Chief U.S. Economist. In his decade-long tenure at IHS, he was responsible for overseeing all aspects of the macroeconomic forecasts and analyses for the U.S. economy. Gault, who was frequently quoted in the press, led his team to receive the Forecasters of the Year award by Dow Jones Marketwatch in 2009 for the accuracy of their projections of key economic indicators. His team was also the seven-time recipient of the Marketwatch Forecaster of the Month accolade. Prior to his time at IHS, Gault served as Senior Global Economist at Decision Economics, Inc. and the Chief European Economist at DRI/McGraw Hill.
