NEW YORK -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --
BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® Service and Gerson Lehrman Group executives today announced that Bloomberg clients will get access to more than 50,000 leading business experts globally through an exclusive partnership with Gerson Lehrman Group.
The agreement offers clients of the Bloomberg Professional Service access to members of the Gerson Lehrman Group Councils -- networks of consultants, physicians, scientists, engineers, attorneys, market researchers and other professionals from around the world, who are referred to as GLG Council Members.
Through this new partnership, Bloomberg clients will be able to view profiles of select GLG Council Members; request consultations directly with those Council Members; and access news commentary, video, webcasts and teleconferences led by GLG Council Members globally. In addition, Bloomberg and Gerson Lehrman Group will jointly produce seminars and surveys that will be available exclusively to Bloomberg Professional Service users.
This partnership also provides trial access to Gerson Lehrman Group for Bloomberg clients who are not yet Gerson Lehrman Group clients. All clients who engage Gerson Lehrman Group's services through Bloomberg will be supported by more than 300 industry-specific research professionals, who help users identify the experts who best meet their research needs.
"Financial professionals are increasingly relying on alternative research, finding it to be a crucial ingredient in the investment decision process," said Thomas Secunda, founding partner of Bloomberg L.P. and head of Bloomberg's Financial Products and Services. "The partnership with Gerson Lehrman Group strengthens our research platform by bringing together our robust suite of sell-side, independent and internal research with the world's leading expert network."
