“For the past 20 years, we have successfully grown our business by creating true partnerships with our clients and advising them when the stakes are the highest,” ICR Co-Founder and CEO Tom Ryan said. “In today”™s world, this is becoming even more important given the adverse consequences associated with poor stakeholder communications.
