CASE NOTE 01 | STRATEGY CONSULTING AND AI ADVISORY
Client: Global strategy consulting firm, name redacted.
Status: Confidential.
Retained to help build the firm’s new AI advisory practice, a strategic growth priority. The mandate anchors the capability with senior product leadership.
The brief pairs applied AI and software product depth with a record of originating and selling complex senior advisory work. Appointees have to operate credibly with chief product, technology and data officers, and with private equity technology teams.
Built on a 12-month partnership with the firm, working as a retained search partner across the practice. We source senior product leaders who bridge applied AI, software product and advisory sales.
Four senior appointments completed and three further appointments in progress, alongside more than 500 management consulting hires delivered across the practice.
CASE NOTE 02 | CONSULTING AND DIVERSITY
Client: Global professional services firm (Big Four), name redacted.
Status: Confidential.
Over five years we ran a series of executive searches and pipelines to build lasting engagement with senior female talent across the firm’s UK and Middle East practices.
Success depended on the client giving additional time to engage female talent, flexibility on traditional career-path criteria, a supportive interview process with diverse interviewers and sponsors, and candidate access to senior leaders.
Of 23 Partner appointments made since 2018, 65 per cent were female.
CASE NOTE 03 | TECHNOLOGY AND DIGITAL, DIVERSITY
Client : Global technology and consulting firm, name redacted.
Status: Confidential.

Two female Partner appointments: an SAP Centre of Expertise Partner for Denmark, and a pan-European SAP market Partner.

CASE NOTE 04 | STRATEGY CONSULTING AND DIVERSITY
Client: Global management consulting firm (MBB), name redacted.
Status: Confidential.
The firm set out to improve diversity in its Middle East consulting team at Partner-1 and Partner-2 levels. Regional diverse talent was scarce, so we recommended a global pipeline of candidates open to relocation.
We searched Tier 1 and Tier 2 strategy firms and industry candidates with strategy backgrounds, built three pipelines by availability to relocate, and approached 13 per cent more female targets to balance the outcome.
Every individual hired from the pipeline was gender diverse.
CASE NOTE 05 | BUSINESS SERVICES, PRIVATE EQUITY BACKED
Client: Global data and information services firm (PE-backed), name redacted.
Status: Confidential.
Following private equity investment, this data and information services business appointed us as its executive talent partner for a year, supporting all senior hires through an accelerated transformation.
A dedicated, account-managed team ran multi-geography searches across the Americas and Europe, with a gender-balanced senior team set as a defined metric and clear expectations on both sides to keep pace.
33 appointments in 12 months, at a 52 per cent female and 48 per cent male balance, supporting the investor’s transformation of the business.
CASE NOTE 06 | STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS, PRIVATE EQUITY BACKED, CAPABILITY BUILD
Client: UK strategy and operations consultancy (PE-backed), name redacted.
Status: Confidential.
With private equity funding in place, the firm wanted rapid growth without lowering its talent bar. We were engaged on a three-year programme.
A dedicated, account-managed team delivered across multiple mandates: building Digital, Aerospace and Defence, and People and Change service lines, alongside a consistent senior pipeline.
Over 60 senior hires. Partner-level gender diversity rose from 4 per cent to 20 per cent, including female Partners and Directors in new sectors: Defence, Energy, Transport and Aerospace.

CASE NOTE 07 | STRATEGY AND DATA ANALYTICS, CAPABILITY BUILD
Client: Global professional services firm (Big Four), name redacted.
Status: Confidential.
The firm set out to accelerate its Strategy service line in ASEAN, a global growth priority, with the ambition to quadruple the practice over four years through multiple Partner hires and team lifts. A parallel programme grew its Data and Analytics practice in the region.
A dedicated, account-managed regional team gave the programme ongoing momentum. The task was to convince top talent, including MBB Partners, to consider the firm as a destination for strategy work, working closely with sponsoring Partners to land preferred candidates. For Data and Analytics, we appointed a regional lead Partner first, then country Partners across Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
12 Partners appointed across Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, including a three-Partner team lift from an MBB firm, spanning restructuring and turnaround, consumer goods and retail, life sciences and healthcare, government and public sector, TMT, digital strategy and operations strategy. A follow-on engagement in MENA delivered four further Partner appointments across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
