John brings decades of consulting and industry experience, bolstering the firm’s presence in the US market and its artificial intelligence offering. John worked as a partner and managing director at leading consulting firms, including Infosys Limited and Boston Consulting Group, before his most recent leadership roles in sales, delivery and corporate development at artificial intelligence software company Noodle.ai. With AI-powered solutions a pressing topic across boardrooms world-wide, and an increasingly important part of the work we deliver to our clients, strengthened by our recent partnership with Responsum, John’s expertise will further enable us to provide cutting-edge solutions. As a partner, he will help build out our services and network in the supply chain, industrial and consumers spaces, and beyond, bringing an intelligence lens to the work he delivers. With John on board, Elixirr continues its investment in and commitment to the US market in challenging the advisory services methodology established over that last 3 decades. We’re passionate that both our tailored approach to client engagements and challenger mindset are central to truly addressing the volatile business environment we live in today. John Kalil says: “Disruption and innovation in global markets have created both challenges and opportunities at a pace never seen before. From private equity to NGOs, and every industry in between, we are all affected. Changing weather patterns, challenges to social norms, evolving economic policies and markets, unrelenting security threats, the explosion of data availability, sensitivity to resource consumption and expectations for continued growth are forces businesses cannot ignore. Even the smallest changes can have huge implications on managing your business, delighting your customers and appeasing a breadth of internal and external stakeholders. At Elixirr, we recognize that no two businesses are the same, regardless of how they may appear from the outside-in. Our challenger approach to solving problems and delivering results is bespoke and rooted in the constraints and desired outcomes that are unique to our clients’ organizations.” Stephen Newton, Founder and CEO, says: “In order to stay competitive in today’s market, all businesses must look to artificial intelligence to unlock new value. That’s exactly why we’re bringing in great people like John – experts in this field with a wealth of experience across different industries and companies – so we can offer the very best for our clients. Having worked extensively in the retail space, John will focus on building out our work across FMCG and luxury. Additionally, with a well-established network in the states, John will play an integral role in scaling our business and advocating for our challenger approach in the US market. It’s a pleasure to welcome John onto the team.” Learn more about Elixirr’s partner team: Meet the team
