Leading a firm, its clients and its people

Runs the firm — setting strategy and direction, owning the P&L, winning and serving major clients, and leading the partners and people who deliver the work. Grew the firm's revenue and headcount substantially while building a strong, sustainable culture. Sets and executes strategy, manages firm finances and operations, leads business development and key client relationships, and develops partners and senior talent. Strong on both the commercial leadership and the people and client judgement running a firm demands. Decisive, credible and trusted by clients and colleagues alike.
