Biography

Jonathan is the leader of McKinsey’s European Social, Healthcare, and Public Sector Practices, and leads teams to address strategic, operational, organizational, and financial challenges. Increasingly, this involves building client capabilities in digital delivery and analytics, and accelerating benefits capture.

He works with a wide variety of government departments, ministries, agencies, and private-sector partners to improve the quality of services and deliver better value to the taxpayers, drawing on international experience and insights from the McKinsey Center for Government and from McKinsey’s private-sector work.

Jonathan has particular focus on defense (helping to improve people and equipment readiness), public finance (with a focus on tax, customs, welfare, finance, and public assets), and an increasing role in sustainability, resilience, net zero, and nature based solutions, and is heavily involved in a variety of talent development activities.

Outside his client work, Jonathan publishes research on economics topics in collaboration with the McKinsey Global Institute and leading academics. In a voluntary capacity, he set up Clinic Africa, is a trustee of Foodbank Aid and the Ortho-Geriatrics Research fund, and supports Grief Encounter and World Jewish Relief.

Earlier in his career, Jonathan held leadership roles across several companies, including serving as sales director at Dr Foster, retail director at Quadriga Worldwide, head of strategy and new business at Quadriga, and commercial director at Smallbone of Devizes. He holds an MBA in finance from London Business School, a master’s degree in economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a master’s degree in economics from the University of Cambridge, Trinity College.
