Clarity Global appoints Bob Osmond as Managing Partner, North America

Clarity Global, the Global Growth Consultancy for B2B technology brands, has appointed Bob Osmond as Managing Partner, North America, strengthening its regional leadership as the business looks to expand its presence in the market.

Based in New York, Osmond will lead Clarity's North American business, overseeing regional growth, client relationships and the development of its people and services. He will also join Clarity's global leadership team, working alongside CEO Rachel Gilley to shape the consultancy's international strategy.

Osmond brings three decades of experience in agency leadership, strategic communications and reputation consultancy, having held senior positions at Racepoint Global, Cohn & Wolfe, Ketchum and FleishmanHillard. His career has spanned both independent and global agency networks, advising senior executives at leading technology businesses while building and growing agency teams.

Most recently, he founded FWD Strategies, a communications, consulting, and executive coaching business that helps leaders and organisations address challenges in strategy, growth, and organisational alignment. A certified professional coach, Osmond brings this experience to Clarity, strengthening its ability to advise business leaders on the relationship between reputation, communications, and commercial performance.

His appointment comes as Clarity continues to invest in its global offering, combining senior strategic counsel and integrated communications with AI-powered intelligence and proprietary technology, including Surfacd, to help B2B technology brands understand and manage their reputation in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Rachel Gilley, CEO of Clarity Global, said:

"North America has always been a critical market in our ambition to build a leading global growth consultancy for B2B technology brands, and Bob is exactly the leader we need to take our business in the region forward.

"He brings extensive experience of growing agency businesses, advising senior executives and developing great teams. His coaching experience adds another dimension to our advisory offering, and he shares our vision for Clarity and the culture we're building. I'm delighted to welcome him to the team and look forward to what we'll achieve together."

Bob Osmond, Managing Partner, North America, added:

"Technology brands and their leaders recognise that communications is core to their business. They’re seeking partners focused on outcomes. Clarity’s investments in technologies like its Surfacd software create new ways to help clients increase answer share in a crowded marketplace.

“Clarity has ambitious plans for North America, building on the work the team is already doing with some of the world's most innovative technology businesses. With a strong global network to draw on, I know we’ll deliver exceptional results for our clients, an outstanding experience for our team, and a foundation for future growth."
