We’re excited to share the appointment of three new Associate Directors
As our industry continues to change, strong leadership matters more than ever. These appointments recognise the way our people build trusted client relationships and confidently lead complex work, even as the challenges around us grow. Congratulations to all three on this well‑earned next step. We’re proud of the leadership you bring and excited about what’s ahead.
“With increasing global uncertainty, there’s no such thing as simple delivery anymore. Every part of the process calls for a strategic approach. Our new Associate Directors bring exactly that. Across their respective fields, they lead with depth of experience and clarity of thinking.”
