Deloitte adds Dominic Cook to Programme Leadership Consulting arm
Deloitte has picked up Dominic Cook, a former Bird & Bird transformation legal expert, who joins the firm as Partner. He will work in the firm’s Programme Leadership Consulting team, focused on supporting major client business transformations and major project rollouts.
Prior to joining Deloitte, Dominic Cook led his own company, Baseline, for a little over two yeas, and concurrently at international law firm Bird & Bird, for two and a half decades. He was most recently a Partner and co-head of Transformational Projects Group at the firm. Cook's most recent role was largely focused on transformation projects in the healthcare, IT and mobile communications sectors. Earlier he held various positions of increasing seniority at the law firm; practicing as a lawyer in London for more than 26 years.
In addition to his role in business, he has held an associate fellow of Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, for the past eight years, teaching as part of the Master in Sciences in a Major Programme Management course.
Cook joins Deloitte as a Partner in its Programme Leadership Consulting team. The team supports businesses undergoing large scale infrastructure change programmes, covering a range of sectors and business line. Projects dealt with by the team include large technology rollouts, to delivering large scale sporting events, such as the Olympics. He will be based out of the firm’s London office.
Commenting on the appointment, Tim Parr, leader of Deloitte’s transformation business in consulting remarked, “Dominic has an excellent reputation in the market for delivering complex transformation programmes. He has strong commercial and practical expertise working on large contracts with complicated supply chains, which will complement Deloitte’s programme leadership business. We are really pleased to have such a senior leader join the team, and know clients will appreciate the enhanced experience he brings to the table.”
Dominic added, “Deloitte was a very attractive next step, particularly because of the firm’s reputation in the marketplace and its multi-disciplinary nature. The ability to draw on expertise from other parts of the firm – whether that be data specialists in technology consulting, regulatory experts in risk advisory, or real estate and restructuring professionals in financial advisory, globally – is hugely exciting.”
Last month, Deloitte appointed Andrew Carey as real estate technology practice lead, while RBS executive Richard Kibble joined the financial services wing of the Big Four firm.
