As a newly independent company, we are building the senior leadership team to scale our operations, support our exceptional people and their careers, whilst helping clients deliver complex programmes with greater certainty.”
Hughes’s appointment is one of the firm’s first major hires since being bought by Goldman Sachs and comes a few months after Tarek ElHadidi joined as its chief digital and information officer.
