Partners in Performance adds to its senior leadership team in Australia
Australian management consultancy firm Partners in Performance has been adding to its senior ranks in Australia, with three partnership promotions and the addition of Julian Dolby as a managing director.
Having spent an earlier career stint at the firm, Dolby rejoins Partners in Performance in Brisbane to lead its A/NZ capital projects business after three years heading up Aurecon’s advisory line, before which he was a partner at Deloitte.
Meanwhile, the firm, which has been part of Accenture since last August, has made a series of partnership promotions across Australia, including Joseph Canto, James Ingle, and Nathan Spencington in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne.
Julian Dolby
Spending the first part of his career helping to grow heavy industries advisory Jamieson Group, where he was general manager of operations, Dolby then joined Partners in Performance for his first stint as a principal in 2005, before later crossing to Deloitte for more than a decade and ultimately being poached by Aurecon in 2021.
“With 30 years of high-level strategic leadership in capital project development, organisational improvement, change management, strategy development and end-to-end digital transformation, We are excited to have Julian on board helping our asset-intensive clients drive lasting impact,” the firm said of Dolby’s return.
Joseph Canto
A member of PiP’s energy transition team, Canto becomes a partner after six years at the firm, prior to which he spent a brief stint at Vistra in Hong Kong and two and half years with McKinsey & Company y in Manila. Canto commenced his career in 2006 gaining global experience with US management consultancy Mitchell Madison.
James Ingle
Now based out of Brisbane, Ingle joined PiP as a management consultant in Melbourne in 2018 with a focus on performance improvement for the mining, utilities, and heavy industries sectors, bringing a decade worth of hands-on engineering and environmental management experience in Canada, including five years at Imperial Oil.
Nathan Spencington
A chemical engineering graduate, Spencington started his career with six and a half years working in technology and innovation at Rio Tinto, before then gaining his MBA from Melbourne Business School and joining PiP in 2017, where he serves clients across industries as an expert on pricing and performance improvement.
International
In addition to its local promotions, the Australian-origin consultancy has also recently elevated two new partners in its international offices – ex-Tokyo-based McKinsey consultant Masayuki Wakamatsu in Chicago, and Andrew Hickson-Mahony in Cape Town – while its UK branch has added sustainability executive Cath Bremner, who started her career with McKinsey downunder.
