Powerscourt appoints former M:Communications technology head

Powerscourt has announced the addition of Juliet Clarke to its technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) team, effective as of this month.

Ms Clarke is the former head of technology at M:Communications, a role from which she announced her departure in April, while her previous employers also include the likes of Torex Retail Holdings and FTI/Financial Dynamics.

Her expertise extends to advising corporations on financial calendar, transactions and crisis communications, with a particular focus on technology and telecoms clients.

As well as Ms Clarke, Powerscourt is also set to add former UBS analyst Andy Parnis to its TMT team, with Nick Woods, James Robinson and Alexandra Rowbottom also set to join the group.

Giles Sanderson, partner at Powerscourt, said: "They will bring specialist knowledge and relationships, broaden our service offering and add further first class execution skills to augment the current Powerscourt offering."
