About Martin
Martin is a director in McKinsey's London office. He advises clients across Europe, Asia and the US, primarily in the pharmaceuticals, healthcare and consumer goods sectors.
His recent client projects include helping a global consumer company to identify and execute its strategy for the emerging middle classes and supporting a 12-month CEO-led process to explore the implications of globalization for a leading healthcare organization. Martin has advised many companies on identifying the organizational implications of expanding their geographic footprint, supported leading corporations in restructuring for cost efficiency and effectiveness and led McKinsey’s support for 10 major post-merger integrations involving fundamental organization redesign, most of them global in nature.
Martin leads our Organisation Practice in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and heads a special McKinsey initiative on managing global organisations. He is a frequent speaker and writer on organisation and globalisation, co-authored the McKinsey publication Perspectives on Global Organizations, and recently led a panel on emerging markets for The Economist. He is also the joint leader of the McKinsey Asia Center, a special initiative to mobilise the best thinking, capabilities and relationships in order to help leading Asian and multinational companies capture the full value of globalisation.
Outside McKinsey, Martin is a trustee on the board of Asia House in London.
