NEW YORK, October 12, 2010 – Chiaki Nishino, a partner in the New York office of Prophet, has been named a “Future Leader” by Consulting magazine’s Women Leaders in Consulting recognition program.

Nishino and seven other women will be recognized with achievement awards during a dinner and gala in at New York’s Waldorf Astoria November 11.

Prophet is a strategic brand and marketing consultancy that helps clients win by delivering inspired and actionable ideas.

Andrew Pierce, President U.S., Prophet who works closely with Nishino, said: “This award recognizes what we at Prophet – and our clients – have long understood: Chiaki is a standout for her thinking and leadership. And she sets a standard for any consultant to strive to meet. Not only is her work consistently outstanding, she has found a way to balance being a highly successful consultant while raising two kids with her husband.”

Nishino has been integral to Prophet’s success since joining the firm in 2005. Her expertise spans growth strategies to brand portfolio alignment to customer experience enhancement, and she has worked with a wide set of clients, including JPMorgan Chase, Global Hyatt Corporation, United Healthcare, and Johnson & Johnson.

She holds her MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and her undergraduate degree from Harvard University.

“It’s gratifying to be recognized this way, and especially to be in such good company,” said Nishino, whose fellow honorees are senior-level women with such businesses as Boston Consulting Group, IBM, and Deloitte.
