"Los Angeles is a diverse business community that has demonstrated its appreciation of experience-based service and lasting relationships," says Dan Reardon, North Highland CEO. "We found that our locally-focused, employee-owned model resonated very well with the consulting community, and the establishment of this office represents our long-term commitment to our Los Angeles clients."

North Highland was named one of the world's Best Firms to Work for 2007 by Consulting Magazine, scoring fourth highest overall. The company employs highly-experienced (15 years average), locally-based consultants, and by allowing them to work where they live, enables them to do meaningful work with clients while maintaining a balanced home life and active community involvement. The consequence is a consistent track record of exceptional results.

"This is an exciting time for us," says Lamont. "North Highland has a long-standing reputation for delivering value, and I'm looking forward to helping extend this reputation to the West Coast. I believe our unique independent approach to consulting will be a refreshing change for the Los Angeles business community and the local consulting population. Our team is looking forward to working with current and future clients to help them navigate their strategic business and technology challenges."

Lamont has more than 17 years of extensive experience in the media, entertainment, communications, and hospitality industries, with expertise in the areas of sales and marketing strategies, change management and customer care solutions.
