He also joins from Boston Consulting Group, where he was a Managing Director and Senior Partner. Among other roles, he led the Corporate Finance & Strategy practice for Western Europe, South America and Africa, as well as BCG Turn, the company’s wing for turnaround and restructuring services.
London-based Wim Gysegom was previously a Partner at McKinsey & Company and Head of its Operations practice. At McKinsey, he led large-scale performance transformation projects across a range of sectors, including retail, utilities and pharmaceuticals, with a particular emphasis on advanced and process-centred industries, such as chemicals and automotive.
