California-based financial services communications consultancy KCD PR has acquired Wall & Broadway, a boutique consultancy specialising in technology clients with an emphasis in the fintech sector.
As part of this transaction, Wall & Broadway founder Philippa Ushio has joined KCD PR as a managing director.
“Our acquisition of Wall & Broadway with Philippa Ushio at the helm brings not only complementary financial services experience, but also deep Silicon Valley credentials across technology and fintech. These are areas in which we have actively begun expanding, and we are thrilled Philippa will be joining our firm as a Managing Director to help guide our growth,” says Kevin Dinino (pictured), president and founder of KCD PR.
Prior to founding Wall & Broadway, Ushio served in various senior roles with FTI Consulting for over 10 years. She has advised companies and governments in the US, UK, Australia and Middle East on managing communications issues directly related to special situations such as fund raising, restructuring, IPOs, M&A and crisis.
“It’s not often you find a strategic communications agency that truly upholds the characteristics and ethics which you hold dear. The diverse team at KCD PR is comprised of talented, passionate, smart and strategic thinkers with experience from a broad range of industries. I look forward to joining the KCD PR management team and helping grow the business, working closely with our team and valued clients as we continue this exciting trajectory,” says Ushio.
