Montieth & Company’s CEO and Global Managing Partner, Montieth Illingworth, featured in FundFire, on how high-profile companies affect other comparable firms. “There’s a divided perspective on this,” says Montieth Illingworth, president of strategic communications consultancy Montieth & Company. “Firms look at PIMCO’s high profile and they say, ‘Boy, I wish I could do that too!’ But then this type of thing happens and they say, ‘I sure am happy I don’t have to deal with that right now.’”
