Context
With competition intensifying across the global private equity landscape, leading strategy consultancies are under growing pressure to combine rigorous commercial insight with hands-on transaction expertise. One international firm, known for its strength in corporate strategy and diligence work, sought to deepen its Private Equity Advisory offering by appointing a Partner who could strengthen client relationships, drive complex engagements, and expand coverage across core industrials and business services markets.
Challenge
The firm required a commercially driven senior leader with a first-rate consulting pedigree, deep M&A experience, and an established network spanning both mid-market and large-cap private equity funds. Beyond technical capability, they needed someone with the gravitas to lead multidisciplinary teams, develop long-term client partnerships, and deliver measurable growth across mergers and acquisitions.
Solution
Consulting Point introduced a seasoned M&A and consulting professional with over 20 years’ experience, including 15 years building and leading commercial due diligence practices across Big 4 advisory, corporate development, and specialist consulting environments. He had led hundreds of private equity and corporate transactions across industrials, business services, and consumer sectors, consistently exceeding revenue and growth targets. His approach to leadership emphasised collaboration, mentorship, and culture-building, attributes that resonated strongly with the firm’s partnership-driven ethos.
Result
The appointment significantly strengthened the firm’s M&A leadership bench, enhanced delivery capability, and deepened relationships with priority private equity clients. The new Partner expanded the firm’s reach while reinforcing its position as an advisor of choice for diligence and value creation mandates. The search was insight-led, and commercially aligned, resulting in a senior hire with immediate strategic and revenue impact.
