Capgemini Invent recruits series of senior leaders from the Big Four
Capgemini Invent continues to prise away Big Four talent for its senior leadership ranks, including recent addition Alon Ellis as head of financial services consulting.
Ellis crosses from Monitor Deloitte’s partnership in Melbourne, joining fellow recent vice president recruits and former Deloitte colleagues Nick Bensley and Nicola Redelinghuys, the latter as energy & resources sector leader.
Others to have made the switch in recent times include Vanessa Wolfe-Coote from the partnership of KPMG to lead Capgemini Invent’s public sector business for NSW, and former EY partner Tristan Masters as head of data & analytics.
The appointments follow the arrival of new A/NZ managing director Christian Kroll, who crossed from the firm’s London office earlier this year to succeed inaugural boss Susan Beeston after five years in the role. Combining management consulting with digital and creative design capabilities, Capgemini Invent was established in 2018 and continues to record strong global growth.
Alon Ellis joins as financial services consulting lead after the past seven and a half years as a partner at Monitor Deloitte – his second stint at the firm after an earlier five year spell – over that time serving as business banking and enterprise strategy design leader among other senior roles. Prior to this, he was head of pricing & revenue at Toll Group, and previously spent four years at LexisNexis.
After the past five years as a director at Deloitte, Nick Bensley likewise joins Capgemini Invent as a vice president in Melbourne, bringing expertise in the assessment, design and delivery of large-scale public sector programs. Prior to Deloitte, Bensley served as founding finance & operations director at management boutique State of Matter, with an earlier background in supply chain strategy.
Appointed A/NZ head of energy transition, utilities & natural resources, Nicola Redelinghuys meanwhile crosses after the past eighteen months as a partner at IBM in Perth, before which she spent four years as a partner and director at Deloitte after a decade and a half managing IT functions in the oil & gas and energy retail sectors in various parts of the world, the majority of that time with Chevron.
Based in Sydney, Vanessa Wolfe-Coote takes on the public sector practice lead role for NSW after spending the past five years as a partner at KPMG, including as digital strategy consulting lead. Across a broad two-decade career in various locations around the world, Wolfe-Coote also previously served as a founding member and vice president of BCG Digital Ventures in the Asia Pacific.
Previously a partner at EY, Tristan Masters comes on board as Capgemini Invent’s new head of data & AI out of Sydney. Prior to his six years at EY, Masters also spent two years as a director at KPMG, before which he served as head of analytics & professional services for Qantas’ customer loyalty research wing Red Planet. He also performed earlier analytics roles at Telstra and Foxtel.
