Background

About Neil Dhar

My mission is to empower clients to embrace transformative digital strategies and help IBMers develop into the next generation of leaders delivering real-world impact. In my role as Global Managing Partner IBM Consulting and the Leader of the Americas, I lead our business in driving growth, expanding strategic client relationships, and delivering impact at scale across our markets. I am responsible for aligning execution with global strategy, accelerating industry-led transformation, and unlocking the full potential of IBM’s hybrid cloud, AI and quantum capabilities for our clients. Prior to my current role, I was Global Chief Commercial Officer for our consulting business, tasked with re-imagining and designing our new go to market strategy. I joined IBM Consulting in Oct 2024, having learnt my craft through three decades of consulting at PwC where I held senior leadership roles including Vice Chairman & Co-CEO of Consulting, Vice Chairman & Chief Client Officer, Head of Financial Services, and Head of M&A – Capital Markets. As a member of PwC’s Executive Management Committee, I played a pivotal role in shaping the firm’s strategy and advising senior level executives across financial services, private equity, retail, consumer, and automotive industries. My functional skills are advising private equity clients with value creation programs geared at growth, efficiency and managing risk underpinned by technology incl Ai. Outside of IBM, I am the Lead Board Director at Citrin Cooperman, a Blackstone portfolio company. Beyond my professional world, I’m committed to community impact and serve on the Board of Directors for New York Cares and was honored as a David Rockefeller Fellow through the Partnership for New York City. I live in NYC with my wife Kathryn and son Brodie.
