Tanguy added: “I am very excited to be leading the next chapter of growth in partnership with Toni Marshall, and the exceptional leaders of Skarbek, and am honoured by the opportunity and trust from Skarbek founder Paul Heugh. 

“Skarbek is a gem that stands out in the consulting industry, with its ‘make it happen’ mantra, enabled by its unique expertise-centric model, bringing the best of consulting methodologies to clients together with unmatched industry and functional expertise fundamental to driving meaningful and lasting impact. 

“I can’t wait for the continued partnership with our clients, unlocking enablers for growth and leading Skarbek to new heights.”

Meanwhile, Paul remains on the board as an ambassador to support the leadership team through the transition.
