A fresh strategic and regulatory change management proposition in Markets and Banking
OUR PEOPLE
We know that successfully managing change in partnership with front-office stakeholders who have high expectations and little time
requires a specific set of skills and experience that can be hard to find.
The people we provide are known to us and typically have 10-20+ years’ proven track record of real experience
working with the business to get things done.
We have broad experience across Markets, Investment Banking and Corporate Banking - in navigating effectively across businesses,
functions and regions in international banks; and in operating across multiple programmes within a broader portfolio.
