Mike Hyne joins PA Consulting health wing as Partner
PA Consulting has appointed Mike Hyne as a Partner in its health and life sciences practice. The move comes as the firm looks to meet rising demand for consultants specialising in the sector.
The global life science tools market size was valued at $144.08 billion in 2022, and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 10.8% from 2023 to 2030. Continued demand from the pandemic, as well as a number of other public health concerns are driving the market to new heights. This also means that as the global economy flirts with recession, the fundamentals of the healthcare market, and the consultants serving it, is considered a rare certainty – especially in the wake of the pandemic. This means M&A within the life sciences sector continues to be very active for consulting and technology companies.
All this is driving heightened activity for consultants specialising in either helping health and life sciences firms boost their performance to get an edge on competitors, or specialising in overseeing deals in the sector. PA Consulting’s UK heath experts combine problem solving excellence with insights from across the public sector and private industry. They work closely with government departments, local leaders, and health organisations to create a better living and working environment for citizens.
Mike Hyne has joined PA as a Partner in its health and life sciences team, to help it meet the evolving needs of clients in the sector. At PA, he will focus on supporting clients in optimising corporate service functions, supply chain resilience, and improving performance efficiency within healthcare organisations across the public and private sector. At the same time, the Manchester-based professional will also lead PA’s healthcare practice across Northern England.
Christian Norris, Interim Global Head of Health and Life Sciences, says: “I am pleased to welcome Mike to PA as part of our Health and Life Sciences team. Mike will help us continue to be a valued partner in health care, driving novel solutions to improve performance and propel better health care outcomes.”
Hyne brings over 20 years of health and care sector experience, during which he has worked with the Department of Health and Social Care, Arms Length Bodies, as well as NHS Trusts across the UK. He joins PA from Deloitte where he was a Director in the company’s healthcare business.
Commenting on his appointment, Hyne added, “I’m delighted to join PA at this critical time for public sector health and care in the UK. Our blend of industry experience, consulting skillset, and innovation capability gives us a great opportunity to help our clients navigate their most difficult challenges. I’m particularly impressed by the team culture here and look forward to working with this great group of professionals.
