EY is in the midst of an ambitious plan to grow its Strategy Consulting Practice to over 2,500 professionals by 2020, both organically and through continued acquisitions. Well, the firm just took a giant step toward meeting that goal by bringing Jacques Mulder on board as its Global Advisory Industry & Market Strategy Leader.
"EY has embarked on an ambitious growth journey and is explicit about its aspirations to grow and tackle big industry and market issues head on, says Mulder. "Our clients are facing unprecedented competitive pressures and drastic change in every industry. The rapid convergence of industries, technologies and increased consumerism could mean we are heading for a perfect storm, which will require an approach to influence the entire ecosystem in ways like never before."
Mulder, who joins EY from Deloitte Consulting, where he was National Chief Strategy Officer for Life Sciences and Healthcare and Corporate Strategy Leader, will guide a global team addressing industry and market challenges, helping clients improve business performance, find new sources of growth, and expand in today's global market place.
"This year we announced revenue growth of over 14 percent and if we are to achieve our goal of being a $15 billion advisory business by 2020, we will continue to build momentum in our strategy consulting practice," says Norman Lonergan, EY's Global Vice Chair, Advisory.
Meanwhile, Cheryl Grise, EY's Global Advisory Strategy Leader, says the addition of Mulder further demonstrate EY's commitment to exceptional client service. "Over the next few years we will be looking to further boost our capabilities to advise companies on growth, particularly in emerging business disciplines," she says.
