Avista Capital Partners Names Jim Nussle to Advisory Board
Februaru 2, 2010
New York, NY – Avista Capital Partners, a leading private equity firm, today announced that it has named Jim Nussle to its Advisory Board. Mr. Nussle brings to Avista his strategic insight into the intersection of business and federal regulation and public policy, honed over his more than twenty years in Washington. A former White House cabinet member and longtime Iowa Congressman, Mr. Nussle currently serves as President and CEO of The Nussle Group, a multi-discipline public policy and strategic consulting firm.
Thompson Dean, Avista’s Co-Managing Partner and Co-CEO, said,
“We are very pleased to welcome Jim Nussle to our Advisory Board.
Over the course of his career, Jim has developed deep expertise
– from both a business and government perspective – on issues that
span from the national energy debate, to healthcare reform, to
the evolving dialogue on the regulation of media and technology.
The insight he has gained in these areas dovetails perfectly with
Avista’s focus on investments in the energy, healthcare, and media
industries. For that reason, we believe Jim will play an invaluable
role advising the firm on matters that may impact both our existing
portfolio companies as well as the potential future investments
we are evaluating.”
Mr. Nussle said, “I look forward to bringing my experience to
bear in helping Avista weigh the impact of public policy and regulatory
issues on its business. For instance, the firm already makes savvy
investments in energy and natural gas companies; I hope to augment
their work with my own expertise in new energy, innovative and
efficient technology, and the environment. And when it comes to
the potential effects of healthcare reform on Avista’s current
and future investments, I am in a position to add particular value
through my experience with health policy, reimbursement, and tax
issues.”
From 2007 to 2009, Mr. Nussle served as Director of the White
House Office of Management and Budget in the cabinet of President
George W. Bush. Prior to that, Mr. Nussle spent 16 years representing the state of Iowa in the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Nussle received his B.A. in Political Science, Economics, and International Studies from Luther College, and his J.D. from Drake University.
