Anthony Larmon is a recognized leader in public affairs and strategic communications with 15 years of experience guiding companies, institutions, and NGOs through complex stakeholder environments across Southeast Asia. As the founder and Managing Director of ERA Communications, he built the firm from a single office into one of the most awarded independent consultancies in the region - operating in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos.

Following Myanmar’s 2021 military coup, Anthony spearheaded ERA’s regional expansion to protect its people and business continuity, evolving it into a cross-border operation trusted by Coca-Cola, Unilever, Huawei, the UN, WHO, Mastercard, Microsoft and the World Bank. ERA earned over 60 industry awards under his leadership - including Southeast Asia PR Campaign of the Year three years in a row and ranking #3 in Asia-Pacific on PRovoke’s Globa Creative Index in 2023.

In 2025, Anthony successfully oversaw the acquisition of ERA by Ruder Finn, one of the world’s largest independent communications groups. He now serves in a senior leadership capacity, focused on regional growth, client advisory, and integration across Southeast Asia’s frontier and high-growth markets.

Known for his hands-on leadership style and belief in communications as a force for good, Anthony’s work focuses on the intersection of reputation, public trust, and societal impact. His expertise includes corporate reputation, behavior change, public affairs, ESG, and crisis and risk advisory in politically sensitive markets. He has played an active role in campaigns that help brands and institutions navigate cultural complexity while protecting their license to operate for the long term.

Anthony lives in Singapore and speaks English, German, French, Burmese and Spanish. He is a member of YPO, sits on the Board of Governors of the American Chamber of Commerce in Myanmar, and has been recognized by Campaign Asia, PRovoke Media, PRWeek, and PublicAffairsAsia. He often serves as a jury member for industry award bodies and has been a shortlisted delegate at Cannes International Festival of Creativity.
