Nestor Advisors Announce Name Change: Embracing a new era with an unwavering commitment to independent advice on governance and sustainability

London, 30 June 2023 - Nestor Advisors, a leading advisory firm specializing in corporate governance, today announced that it will now operate as the Board & Governance practice of Morrow Sodali. This name change marks the completion of its full integration with its parent company after a two-year transition period.

With an expanded suite of offerings, the Board & Governance practice aims to support clients in achieving best practices in corporate governance, sustainability, and board effectiveness. Existing and future clients will continue to receive the same tailored and high-quality service without any impact from the transition. Our scope of clients remains unchanged, and we will continue to advise private and listed companies, state-owned enterprises, states, impact private equities, development finance institutions, and international NGOs on governance, board effectiveness, organizational design, research, and policies.

The rebranding aligns with Morrow Sodali's strategic vision of expanding its global footprint and positioning itself as the leading full-service advisory that brings together all the expertise, information, technology, and resources companies need to engage effectively with shareholders and other stakeholders and maximize support for their business initiatives.

The Board & Governance practice will lead the way in delivering innovative solutions that empower boards and management teams, support effective decision-making to foster sustainable growth and drive long-term value creation.

“We are confident that this name change will enable us to expand our global reach and offer enriched services and unmatched insights for the benefit of boards and decision-makers,” said David Risser, Managing Director of the Board & Governance practice at Morrow Sodali. “This milestone provides the team with new resources and the tools, data, ESG expertise, and shareholder knowledge long developed at Morrow Sodali to better serve our clients. We will continue to stay true to our core principles of delivering independent advice and high-quality advisory services that we are known for with an unwavering commitment to our clients.”
