Chemonics International announced today that it has acquired the Government Services Business Unit of Nexant Inc., a sought-after advisor to governments and multilateral organizations in energy sector planning, policy, reform, and investment. Terms of the tuck-in transaction, which closed on August 21, 2020, were not disclosed.

“Our team is excited to be joining Chemonics and to have the opportunities to expand our services that a broader, global consulting platform offers,” said Matthew Mendis, senior vice president of Nexant Government Services. The complementary strengths of each firm in development and the energy sector make for a powerful combination to tackle the growing needs for affordable and sustainable energy.”

This integration of Nexant Government Services talent and expertise combined with a structured, forward partnership with Nexant Inc. builds upon a record of successful collaboration between the two firms,” Butcher said.
