PA Consulting - Global Energy

Over the last 18 months, Veredus has helped PA Consulting's global energy team add partner capability as well as provide Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) competitor and market intelligence. With less volatile client demand post-GFC, 2010 saw a high level of recruitment activity in the energy consulting market in the UK from partner level down. With tightening budgets for consultancy, consultants with proven ability to business develop had become more important.

Against the backdrop of a fair bit of movement (and at times overheated activity) at partner and director level, we helped PA recruit a new partner in October 2010. In ETRM, which has seen strong growth over the last couple of years (particularly in strategic advisory) what with the Big 4 looking to rebuild/further develop their capability, and the software houses / systems integrators looking to add-on advisory capability;  our search work has helped PA's thinking in terms of their ETRM offering and positioning.
