The Berkeley Partnership appoints Katy Spencer as partner

Katy Spencer has been promoted as a partner at The Berkeley Partnership. Working across its London and New York offices, she specialises in leading transformation programmes.

Commenting on her appointment and her priorities as partner, Spencer remarked, “I want to ensure Berkeley remains at the forefront of helping our clients with the most complex transformation… Many of our clients are considering how to adopt a workforce that blends human and AI capabilities. I’m keen to partner with traditional businesses on that type of journey, providing the support they need to successfully navigate such a steep change curve and achieve the benefits. The work that excites me most is deep, high-stakes transformation, where a trusted relationship and a clear understanding of what drives our clients make the difference, which is Berkeley’s speciality.”

Founded in 1990, The Berkeley Partnership is an award-winning management consulting firm that works across the full transformation lifecycle – from strategy development through to delivering large-scale change programmes. The company has offices in London and New York.

Joining in 2019, Spencer has worked across both hubs. Over the course of her time with the firm, she has supported clients through a range of challenges – with one key engagement including serving as programme director for a major technology and business transformation, leading a large international team on both sides of the Atlantic.

Spencer is also committed to building a diverse business and to enabling women to thrive and succeed in consulting. Having set up a partnership with London Business School and attended its women in leadership training programme, she heavily advocates for Berkeley’s female consultants to develop their leadership capabilities.

She added, “Authenticity matters deeply to me. I want Berkeley to continue to be a place where people feel accepted, supported and able to bring their full selves to work. That is central to maintaining a close-knit, people-focused firm, where a broader range of people can see what is possible for their own careers.”
