His personality and experience fit very well into our team and I am confident that his track-record of using his network to achieve long-term results will be an invaluable asset for Satori, as we expand our European services and reach. It will be great to work with Ian."

Hillier-Brook commented: "I have been aware of Satori for a number of years and what has always impressed me most is their delivery. Senior-level consultants retain responsibility and involvement throughout the engagement period, which is most unusual. I know from talking with their New York and London clients that they really value this approach. The stakes have never been higher for organisations and effective change management is critically important. While my initial focus will be primarily on London, I expect this to be quickly broadened to Europe. I am really looking forward to working with the Satori team to grow the business."
