New collaboration brings complementary advisory capabilities together as organizations navigate regulatory change, emerging technology, geopolitical risk and increasingly complex operating environments

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — PARC Solutions LLC and Guillot Consulting today announced a strategic collaboration bringing together complementary capabilities across governance, risk and regulatory strategy with government affairs, public policy, political strategy and communications.

“Organizations must make decisions where regulatory expectations, technology, and public policy rapidly converge. This collaboration allows us to bring complementary perspectives to those challenges,” said Pawneet Abramowski, CEO of PARC Solutions.

The collaboration reflects a changing operating environment in which regulatory, technological, geopolitical and policy developments increasingly converge. Organizations are being asked not only to understand emerging requirements and external developments, but also to determine what those changes mean for governance, operations, risk management, investment and business strategy.

Guillot Consulting brings complementary capabilities across government affairs, public policy, political strategy, advocacy and communications, helping organizations navigate and engage with the political and policy environments affecting their businesses and strategic objectives.

Through the collaboration, clients will be able to draw on the firms’ respective capabilities where matters cross those disciplines – connecting the external policy and political environment with the governance, regulatory, risk and operational considerations that organizations must address internally.

Areas where the firms’ capabilities may intersect include emerging technology and artificial intelligence, regulated-market entry, cybersecurity and digital risk, regulatory and legislative change, geopolitical developments, crisis and reputational matters, and other complex issues where business decisions are shaped by multiple constituencies and rapidly changing external conditions.

For PARC Solutions, the collaboration also builds on a body of thought leadership developed through The Risk Chair, which has examined geopolitical realignment, regulatory fragmentation, emerging technology and the implications of these developments for institutional governance and decision-making.

PARC Solutions and Guillot Consulting will continue to operate as separate firms and will collaborate on engagements where their complementary capabilities can provide additional value to clients.

“Organizations increasingly have to make decisions in an environment where risks do not fit neatly within a single discipline. Regulatory expectations, technology, geopolitical developments and public policy can converge very quickly. This collaboration allows us to bring complementary perspectives to those challenges while remaining focused on the work each firm does exceptionally well,” said Pawneet Abramowski, CEO & Founder of PARC Solutions.

“Many firms address either the external environment or the internal governance challenge. We see them as interconnected,” said Jeff Guillot, CEO and Founder of Guillot Consulting. “By bringing together our capabilities in direct advocacy, strategic communications and coalition building with PARC’s independent governance and regulatory advisory at the board and C-suite level, we can help clients navigate complex issues with greater alignment, clarity and impact.”

“The alliance between Guillot and PARC demonstrates the value of strategic partnership, particularly in the B2B environment,” said Aliyah Harith, Founder & CEO of QwintiQ Consulting, who facilitated the relationship. “By bringing together complementary capabilities, firms can deliver broader value to clients without unnecessarily adding cost or internal complexity. Increasingly, sustainable growth depends not only on what an organization can build independently, but on its ability to form the right partnerships and extend its capabilities through collaboration.”

Public innovation hub provides early access to emerging Nearmap technologies, proprietary research, and technical breakthroughs shaping what’s next for the industry.

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ –Nearmap, the leading global property intelligence company, today announced the launch of Nearmap Labs, a new public innovation hub giving customers, partners, developers, and industry leaders an early look at the technologies and research Nearmap is exploring to advance property intelligence.

Nearmap Labs opens the door to innovation happening beyond the current product roadmap, featuring experimental technologies, proprietary research, technical demonstrations, and opportunities for customers to participate in early access programs and provide feedback. The platform will evolve continuously as new explorations, research, and breakthroughs emerge.

As organizations increasingly rely on property intelligence to support decisions across insurance, government, architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO), and commercial real estate, Nearmap Labs creates a dedicated destination to explore how advances in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and geospatial analytics are transforming how properties are understood and managed.

“Innovation doesn’t begin the day a product launches; it starts years earlier through research, experimentation, and solving difficult technical problems,” said Andy Watt, Chief Executive Officer at Nearmap. “Nearmap Labs gives customers and the broader market visibility into the work happening behind the scenes, while creating opportunities to engage with emerging technologies that will help shape the future of property intelligence.”

Nearmap Labs launches with a growing collection of technology explorations, proprietary research, and technical demonstrations. Initial releases include advancements in AI-powered underwriting, computer vision, temporal reasoning, property analytics, and original research derived from the expansive Nearmap geospatial data and property intelligence platform.

“Our customers don’t simply want to know what Nearmap offers today—they want confidence we’re investing in what they’ll need tomorrow,” David Tobias, Chief Product Officer at Nearmap said. “Nearmap Labs reflects our long-term commitment to advancing property intelligence through meaningful innovation grounded in real-world customer challenges.”

Beyond technology exploration, Nearmap Labs serves as a foundation for future thought leadership, providing a public forum for proprietary research, technical publications, interactive demonstrations, and data-driven insights that help organizations better understand the built environment. By giving the market greater visibility into the ideas and technologies being developed today, Nearmap Labs reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to advancing property intelligence.

About Nearmap
Nearmap is a global property intelligence company redefining how organizations understand and act on the built environment. By owning the entire intelligence value chain—from high-recency geospatial capture powered by patented camera technology to accurate AI-derived analytics and guaranteed building materials data—Nearmap delivers a single, trusted source of truth for property decisions. Insurers, government agencies, and AECO organizations rely on Nearmap to transform property uncertainty into evidence, helping organizations move beyond fragmented data and manual processes with verified, frequently updated insight. These proprietary insights enable faster, more confident decisions across underwriting and claims, assessment and response, and planning and construction so teams can see truth, assess risk, and act with certainty.
