Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of business
consulting services, today announced that Jill
L. Jamieson has joined the Company as a managing director within its
Public Sector practice. Jamieson brings a global perspective and a
proven track record in the arena of public-private partnerships (P3),
further expanding the offerings of Huron’s
Public Sector team.
“With public-private partnerships on the rise as cities and states
address declining budgets, fiscal deficits and increased demands for
services and enhanced infrastructure, we are pleased to bring a person
of Jill’s caliber and experience to address the growing needs of our
public sector clients,” said James

Consulting Group. “She understands the complexity and challenges of
successful P3 infrastructure and has applied this knowledge to create
viable operating alternatives and solutions to resource-constrained
agencies and organizations.”
At Huron, Jamieson’s
experience will complement the Company’s existing cross-functional
public sector expertise. She will advise clients on infrastructure
financing, public-private partnering and enhanced operational
efficiency, as well as contract governance and oversight. Huron’s
Public Sector team works with city, state and international
officials and private entities across industries – transportation,
energy, utilities, education, healthcare and municipal works –to help
create sustainable, cost effective and resource efficient operating
solutions.
With more than 20 years of experience, Jamieson
joins Huron from Deloitte Consulting, where she most recently led their
domestic P3 Integrated Market Offering team. Prior to that, Jamieson
founded Global Growth Partners, an independent consultancy firm,
specializing in infrastructure finance and public-private partnerships
