Managing Partner and Chairman of the Board
A.T. Kearney
Excellence in Leadership
Johan Aurik was elected Managing Partner and Chairman of the Board of A.T. Kearney late in 2012. He officially took over the reins from Paul Laudicina in January. Aurik says he is taking over a firm that's in a much better position than it was at the beginning of Laudicina's term six years ago. At that time, A.T. Kearney was slumping after more than a decade under EDS' thumb. Following a management buyout, Laudicina took over as the head of A.T. and began rebuilding the firm.
"Paul has done a fantastic job over the last six years of rebuilding A.T. Kearney not quite from scratch but it almost felt that way," Aurik says. "In 2006, we were a firm with very little confidence in ourselves and Paul returned us to where we are today—a very confident firm that's basically been rebuilt."
