Phil’s extensive experience and expertise as both a thought leader and thought partner, signal an exciting phase in Stax's ongoing market expansion.”
"I am eager to spearhead Stax’s growth initiatives in the U.K., leveraging Stax’s strong foundation, relationships, and content established in North America and extending that impact to EMEA. Stax's unique position as a private equity-backed firm, injecting capital into our expansion, not only bolsters our growth prospects but also serves as a compelling narrative when communicating the value Stax delivers to our private equity clients,” expressed Phil Dunne, Stax Managing Director. "As I take on the role of leading the firm’s business in the region, my primary objectives are to aggressively expand our sector teams at the senior level, pursue ambitious growth targets for the region, and leverage the established brand equity in the U.S. to strengthen our presence in the U.K. and EMEA."

His extensive background in not only growing client bases but also in building and nurturing offices and cultures aligns seamlessly with our current stage of growth,” shared Paul Edwards, Stax Global Practice Leader. “Phil's blend of operational and consulting expertise makes him an ideal leader for both the people and client facets of our business in Europe.
