Christian Pampellonne

Co-Founder & Director

Transformation & Private Equity

Christian co-founded The Consultancy Group and has spent decades helping executive teams navigate serious change. His expertise sits at the intersection of strategy, finance and transformation — and he brings a point of view on capability structure that goes well beyond filling a vacancy. He works at the most senior level across all three practices.

His mandates span Chief Transformation Officers, senior finance and strategy leaders for businesses going through PE-backed growth, post-acquisition integration, ERP-led change and operating model redesign.

Two decades of relationships across the CFO and Finance Director community — appointing into FTSE-listed businesses, PE-backed companies and high-growth SMEs across Media, Technology, Consumer and Retail.

He is the person CFOs and Finance Directors come back to. The relationship with GWI's James Franks has run for over eight years. That pattern: one hire, then the next, defines how he works.
