Core proposition, EY-Parthenon Geostrategy Group, helps CEOs and governments navigate geopolitical complexities with actionable strategies.
JOHANNESBURG, 27 MARCH 2025. The EY organisation today announces the expansion of EY-Parthenon, unifying the EY organisation’s Strategy and Transactions service line under a single, distinctive sub-brand focused on creating value for EY clients, people and society more broadly at the intersection of strategy, transaction services and transformation.
The move is a significant milestone in the broader EY global strategy, “All in,” and is designed to enhance the full transformation advisory capabilities of the organization. The expanded offering will be a unique combination of strategy and transactions functions integrated within the full spectrum of EY services – from tax to technology – and will enhance the ability of EY professionals to help deliver market-leading, multi-disciplinary, cross-functional transformational solutions.
Andrea Guerzoni, EY-Parthenon Global Vice Chair, says:
“At a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty and relentless tech-driven transformational change, client demand around strategic consultancy is evolving. This newly expanded proposition is meeting those new demands, focusing on delivering real-world value – solutions that work in practice, not just on paper. EY-Parthenon, with its deep functional and sector capabilities, innovative AI-powered technology and investor mindset, is designed to collaborate with CEOs, boards, private equity and governments on their transformation journey – helping them to shape the future with confidence.”
This change will see EY-Parthenon strengthen its leading position in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), divestitures, corporate finance, value creation, turnaround, and optimisation, as well as sector-driven strategic advisory and transformation services.
With EY Strategy and Transactions headcount transitioning to EY-Parthenon, the new brand will comprise 25,000 professionals in 150 countries. The newly integrated team will also benefit from cross-functional collaboration with the full spectrum of services provided by 400,000 EY people worldwide, enhancing the strength of the organization across Consulting, Tax and Assurance – and particularly around large-scale transformational programs.
Janet Truncale, EY Global Chair and CEO, says:
“Expanding the EY-Parthenon brand is a pivotal step in reinforcing EY’s strategic consulting offerings to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Our “All in” strategy is rooted in the transformation of the EY organisation to support clients as they shape the future with confidence. The strengthened EY-Parthenon will help deliver on this mission and drive value for C-suite and boards.”
EY-Parthenon Africa Leader, Quintin Hobbs said “This is an exciting time for us as we unite our almost 400 transaction and strategy professionals across the continent under the EY Parthenon brand. It underlies a new promise to our clients and to our people. In all our conversations with clients, we know that we create real value for them when we translate their strategy or transaction activity into measurable results. I’m looking forward to engaging with our clients and our people as this rolls out into our markets across the continent”.
Jad Shimaly, EY Global Managing Partner – Client Service, says:
"To give CEOs and boards the confidence to reshape their companies’ futures and secure an edge in today’s complex and uncertain landscape, the EY-Parthenon proposition has been reimagined and expanded. Clients will benefit from a unique combination of global reach, deep sector knowledge, full-spectrum capabilities, seamless cross-border collaboration, and proprietary AI technology and data."
