Former Goldman Analyst Brings Fresh Perspective to Investor Relations

Jan. 9, 2006. San Francisco, CA.

Hyperion Advisors, a new company founded by Jessica Kourakos, former Goldman Sachs equity analyst, today announced the launch of its investor relations and financial communications services. With few companies able to afford a full-time investor relations expert with extensive Wall Street experience, we found an important market niche that was severely underserved.

"Companies often underestimate how much they can impact their valuation with a highly strategic investor program," said Jessica Kourakos, President of Hyperion Advisors. "Anyone can pitch an easy growth story, but how many of those are still left in today's environment? With so many companies vying for investment dollars, a good investor program that successfully highlights a company's assets and differentiates it from the pack can mean millions of dollars in added market value.

Hyperion's experienced consultants use a proprietary methodology that took Ms. Kourakos over ten years to develop. This methodology coupled with their experience and extraordinary contacts on the buyside and sellside have enabled them to optimize valuations and to successfully handle some of the most difficult financial communications.
