Oliver Wyman's John Romeo, Managing Partner of NA, looks to build off 'record year'
John Romeo has worked for Oliver Wyman for more than 20 years. Starting out in London in its Financial Services practice in 1994, he worked in wholesale banking, covering firms in the investment banking, trading practices and technology arenas. In 2007, he set up the firm's Corporate Advisory practice in an effort to maximize the commercial value of the firm's large stores of intellectual capital. In his words, "taking a little bit of a risk and betting on ourselves was the way to go," so they started with private equity firms and expanded outwards. This year, Romeo was named Managing Partner of North America for Oliver Wyman. Consulting sat down with him to talk about the North American consulting market, emerging challenges and opportunities for clients and more.
