Our People
Specialists across Finance, Strategy and Transformation The depth of the network is built on years of showing up for the same clients, in the same markets, through the same situations.
Leadership
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.
Co-Founder & Director
Finance Executive Search
Phil co-founded The Consultancy Group and leads the firm's executive search practice at the most senior level. 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.
Director - Strategy & Consulting
Partner Hires at MBB & Big 4
Chris operates in the strategy consulting market across EMEA, specialising in senior hires within the MBB, Big 4 and leading boutique firms. With over a decade focused on this ecosystem, he understands both sides of the market, advising consulting firms building partner capability and corporates looking to bring high-calibre strategy talent in-house.
His work centres on Partner and senior leadership appointments across corporate strategy, growth strategy and transformation mandates, helping organisations access the calibre of thinking typically found inside the consulting firms themselves.
