Buy Adds Washington Partner for Penta Group

Stakeholder solutions company Penta Group has announced the acquisition of strategic advisory firm FIO360, whose founder Adam Weiss joins Penta as a Partner, based in Washington, D.C.

Penta combines analytics, research and advisory services to help clients understand, engage and influence their key audiences. Weiss launched FIO360 in 2019, providing clients with advisory services and a data-driven framework to anticipate challenges, align positioning, and deliver measurable outcomes.

Penta says the buy strengthens its corporate affairs and stakeholder intelligence capabilities, including its ability to help clients manage risk, protect reputations, and advance business priorities in complex operating environments. 'Adam brings a unique ability to turn potential headwinds into clear strategies that both reduce risk and create opportunity,' says CEO Matt McDonald. 'The integration of FIO360 enhances Penta's ability to deliver data-led solutions that connect corporate strategy to the realities of policy and public opinion.'

Weiss (pictured) states: 'Joining Penta allows us to scale what we built at FIO360. In today's environment, corporate affairs must be data-led and insight-driven. Outcomes are shaped not only by regulators and competitors but also by civil society and public expectations. Penta's model gives clients the clarity, strategy, and execution needed to both protect and advance what matters most to their business.'
