Michael Hughes also joins West Monroe Partners from NTT Data where he was Senior Vice President and national leader for the Business Transformation Services group. His areas of expertise include strategy, leadership development, performance management, change management, organisational design/alignment, training, culture change, business planning, IT strategy, and process design/improvement. Hughes began his career as a consultant with Litigation Sciences in Chicago and subsequently worked as a Senior Consultant in the Change Management Services practice of Andersen Consulting. Between 1997 and 2009 he worked as an internal consultant for Nicor Gas.
“Our clients rely on us to guide them through complex change and create new marketplace advantages. We continue to enhance our team with the diverse and well-refined skills that enable us to meet this demand,” says Doug Armstrong, leader of West Monroe’s Chicago office. “We are fortunate to gain the insight and expertise of two highly regarded leaders whose broad industry, strategic, and business transformation capabilities blend well with our areas of focus.
