Phil Dunne

I have over 30 years of industry and consulting experience. An engineer by training, I began life designing missiles for British Aerospace, followed by five years in France with Michelin in design and manufacturing roles.

After an MBA at Cranfield I joined A.T. Kearney, eventually becoming the UK’s Managing Partner and head of the M&A Practice, with global responsibility for A.T. Kearney’s Merger Integration proposition. I then joined EY where I was a member of the leadership team for the Transaction Advisory Services division, heading up the EY-Parthenon, Strategy team serving both private equity and corporate clients on a wide range of strategic and deal-related issues. I was then the UK Managing Partner for Roland Berger, leading the growth of the practice through a rapid expansion in sector coverage and a broadening of propositions to leverage the firm's mainland European strengths in operations, performance improvement and restructuring.

I then lead the European growth of Stax, a US-based, PE-owned strategy consulting firm specialising in PE investment into the Technology sector and its application across Industrials, Business Services, Consumer/Retail and Healthcare markets.

I have now joined Ankura, a leading global consulting and expert advisory firm that delivers end‑to‑end solutions across conflict, crisis, performance improvement, risk, strategy, and transformation, with more than 2,000 professionals serving 3,000+ clients around the world.

My role is to build the UK and broader European capabilities across performance improvement, value creation, strategy and transformation.
