I’m Guy Abramo and I’m the Chief Executive Officer.

I am an accomplished leader and board director with experience spanning multiple industries including technology, financial services, and consulting. Most recently I served as CEO of HireRight, where I led its IPO in 2021 and its take-private transaction in 2024. Prior to HireRight, I held senior roles at organizations such as Experian, Tallan, Ingram Micro, KPMG Consulting, and Exxon/Mobil, consistently delivering transformative growth, innovative solutions, and operational excellence.

I'm President of CisionOne and lead the company's global media monitoring division. I joined Cision in April 2022 from Streem where I served as co-founder and CEO, leading the business from start-up to funding and through to acquisition, and overseeing an operation that grew to 150+ staff and over 700 customers across the APAC region. Before founding Streem, I was an adviser in the Office of the Prime Minister (Australia), an experience that served as a driving force behind the creation of Streem for the PR and Communications market.

Today at Cision I am charged with the global roll-out of CisionOne, our market-leading media monitoring, analytics, and reporting platform. I oversee the Sales, Product, Engineering, Upgrades, and Media Data functions of CisionOne, enabling us to build out a highly-tuned, customer-driven platform – a philosophy that has been carried through from the success of Streem in the APAC region.

I reside in Sydney, Australia, travel often, and in my downtime spend a great deal of time either sailing on our city's harbor or skiing at the nearest ski field depending on the season or where I'm located.
