Champion the development of integrated propositions that combine consultancy insight, professional services delivery, and data-led capabilities.
Build, lead, and motivate high-performing teams, conducting regular performance, development, and succession reviews across the newly consolidated division.
Lead change management efforts during integration and growth, ensuring clarity of purpose, employee engagement, and stakeholder buy-in.
