Former Deloitte Director Christian Norris becomes Partner at PA

PA Consulting Group has hired former Deloitte Director Christian Norris, as the firm bids to strengthen its Economic Modelling offering. Norris arrives at PA as a Partner, and will head the Economic Modelling team of the UK-headquartered consulting firm. 

Having recently relocated the firm’s headquarters in London to promote growth, PA Consulting Group is preparing for a year of expansion in 2018. As Brexit approaches, and clients prepare for an uncertain economic period, the firm are looking to broaden their operations as well as enhance their offering through the acquisition of new talent.

Before joining PA, Christian Norris led a large team of economists and was head of health analytics at Big Four firm Deloitte, where he developed the largest health economics consulting practice in the UK. Norris spent a total of 11 years with the professional services giant, having arrived in 2007, after graduating as a Masters in Economics, from the University College of London. Before this, he obtained a degree in Economics from the University of Bristol, during which he worked as a summer intern for the Department of Trade and Industry. 

Accrued throughout his career, Norris boasts a proven track record of offering high-level advice that has helped shape economic policy and strategy for public sector clients and blue chip companies. He has worked extensively in the UK, and internationally, something PA will hope to leverage in his new role, with the independent firm of over 2,600 people operating globally from offices across the Americas, Europe, the Nordics, the Gulf and Asia Pacific.

PA specialise in consumer and manufacturing, defence and security, energy and utilities, financial services, government, healthcare, life sciences, and transport, travel and logistics solutions. Norris, who becomes a Partner with PA, will lead PA’s Economic Modelling team, working across all major industry sectors.

Peter Lumley, who leads the Business Intelligence capability team at PA Consulting Group, said, “We are delighted to welcome Christian to our consulting business. Christian’s expertise in Economic Modelling is underpinned by his excellent experience in pricing, policy development, performance improvement and forecasting.”

Norris added, “Increasingly economics and analytics need to come together to answer some of the most challenging questions for policy makers and companies. This is an exciting opportunity to blend some of PA’s existing excellence in analytics with the latest in economics. I am delighted to be joining PA.”
