"Change cycles get more dramatic and they get faster, and I think for all of us in the industry, including us here at Point B, it's a great ride," says Turner. Turner has served as the interim President of Consulting since mid-2018 and has played a critical role in Point B's growth, including a 21 percent revenue gain and talent pool extension to 950 people in 2018. Consultingcaught up with Turner to discuss what lies ahead in his new his new role.

Consulting: Congratulations! I know you've had this role on an interim basis for a while, but I'm sure it's nice to make it official. When did it take effect?

Turner: Thanks. It really became effective as of January 1. As you know, last year I was in an interim president role and last year was about getting us focused on what our growth strategies were and setting us up for what we think is the next chapter of growth at Point. B. Coming out of 2017, we really began to identify how we want to grow; the types of client problems we wanted to focus on and a big part of that was making the decisions about where we invest and how to deliver more value to clients. The result was that we had a really good year last year—we grew 21 percent.
