Calyptus launches international division

PARIS - French financial communications firm, Calyptus, has launched a corporate international division to focus on corporate communications in Europe and emerging markets including India.

Director international, Alpana Kar, who was formerly vice president of Edelman France and former Edelman Paris’s Alexis Breton, who is public affairs and corporate communications consultant, will head the new department.

Philippe Calleux (pictured), Calyptus chairman, said: "The decision to set up the international corporate department was taken well before the markets collapsed. It reflects a commitment to ending the artificial boundary between communications for shareholders and communications for the various other stakeholders".

Mathieu Calleux, Calyptus CEO, added: "With a wider range of services, and a stronger international dimension, Calyptus is consolidating its position with listed French companies, while opening up new markets. By putting two recognised professionals who share our values and ambitions, at the helm of this department, we are giving ourselves the means to rapidly implement our development strategy.”
