EY-Parthenon today announces that Jeff Wray has been appointed Global Leader 
with a focus on driving the strategy consultancy's global market agenda in FY22 
and beyond.

Jeff brings a strong background in strategy consulting to the role, with deep 
experience as a trusted C-suite advisor. He joined EY-Parthenon from Boston 
Consulting Group in 2014 and previously served as EY Strategy and Transactions 
Global Consumer Industries Leader (and the Americas Corporate and Growth 
Strategy leader). Jeff succeeds Mitch Berlin, who is transitioning into his 
role as EY Americas Strategy and Transactions Vice Chair.

EY-Parthenon is the world's fifth largest strategy consulting organization in 
terms of revenue, with more than 7,000 professionals and 750 partners of EY 
member firms across the globe. The strategy consultancy recorded revenue growth 
of 19.6% in FY21 supporting clients across the world in both responding to the 
pandemic and reshaping their strategies for the future.

EY-Parthenon has also announced the appointment of John van Rossen as Global 
Co-Leader with an operational focus to enable the consultancy's ambitions 
globally. John was most recently EY Strategy and Transactions Leader of the EY 
WEM Region (Belgium, Netherland, France, Luxemburg and Maghreb).

Both appointments come at a time of significant investment and strategic 
acquisitions across the globe. EY Parthenon recently acquired CMA Strategy 
Consulting strengthening its abilities in the fast-growing and converging 
digital infrastructure market. 

EY will continue to expand strategy consulting through EY-Parthenon and 
sustainability services and invest to ensure that clients benefit from 
leading-class technology – all backed up by continued strategic acquisitions 
and the EY ecosystem of world-class alliances. 

Other significant EY-Parthenon investments will also be made through ambitious 
recruitment plans globally and branding via a global 'Real-World Strategy' 
campaign across all major markets.

"These appointments will strengthen the EY-Parthenon global leadership team and 
help to build further market momentum enabled by world-class operations. EY 
Parthenon has ambitious growth plans underpinned by continued investment around 
the world as the business looks to attract and develop more high-performing 
talent. Investment plans in key aspects of the business is well underway 
including in our ESG capabilities to strategically advise CEOs on what is 
becoming the critical issue on the boardroom agenda.

"Jeff and John will drive these plans and help realize our aim of finding 
better real-world answers to our clients' most challenging strategic questions, 
leveraging the full functional expertise and transformational strength of EY."

Jeff Wray, EY-Parthenon Global Leader, says:

"I am energized to build on the extremely strong position of EY-Parthenon and 
lead the business to the next level of growth. EY-Parthenon teams will be laser 
focused on addressing the real-world issues, opportunities and challenges CEOs 
now face. Whether moving from strategy to transformation or using a transaction
