Jake is a partner working across Oliver Wyman’s Energy and Natural Resources and People and Organizational Performance practices. He helps clients design and deliver large-scale transformations across sectors, including oil and gas, utilities, and adjacent services such as waste.
His work goes beyond financial and operational improvement. Jake focuses on helping leadership teams build the capabilities, confidence, and alignment needed to make change stick. He works closely with clients from idea generation through implementation, with a strong emphasis on enabling teams to take ownership of transformation.
Clients—and I—recognize that transformation is very much a multi-dimensional challenge, no matter the scale and size of the effort. Many levers are at play but none so important as engaging teams, creating widespread ownership, and ensuring sustained staying power
Looking ahead, Jake is particularly focused on helping energy and natural resources companies respond to the transition toward lower-carbon business models. He believes lasting change is most effective when it is led from within the organization by people who are equipped and motivated to carry it forward.
Jake encourages those starting in consulting to remain curious and become committed learners.
Outside of work, he enjoys card games, board games, crossword puzzles, cooking with his wife, and cheering on Atlanta sports teams and the University of Virginia.
