"Our expanded presence in the New York and Chicago markets is consistent with our global consulting and service growth model," said Patrick Cummings, CEO of MMA. "In order to provide our clients the value they expect we need to be positioned with the right people in the right places to work closely and collaboratively with them. Our commitment to teaming up top executives with experienced analytic talent in key markets like these is another step toward that goal."

MMA has hired two proven and experienced analytic consulting executives to support its Chicago expansion. Paul Straub, PhD, joins MMA as Senior Vice President of Analytics, and Tom Stroud has been named Vice President of Strategic Accounts.
