OC&C Strategy Consultants Announces Tom Jackson as Partner

London 28th, August 2026 – OC&C Strategy Consultants, a leading global management consulting firm, today announced the appointment of Tom Jackson as a Partner in the firm’s UK TMT sector team, based in London. OC&C’s TMT team provides a depth of expertise and sector insight to clients across Software, Tech Services, Data, Media, Entertainment, Sport, Consumer Internet and Education.

Since joining OC&C as an Associate Consultant in 2015, Tom has become a vital part of the firm’s TMT practice. Over the past 11 years, he has played a pivotal role in growing key client relationships across Media, Entertainment, Sport and Education, advising both corporate and Private Equity clients.

In recent years, Tom has developed particular expertise in Education and Live Events, working closely with colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic to build OC&C’s capabilities and client relationships in these areas. Justin Walters, Partner and Global Head of TMT at OC&C, said ‘’Tom’s combination of sector expertise, commercial judgement and trusted client relationships will further strengthen the firm’s TMT offer as it continues to grow.’’

Tom brings to his new role incisive problem solving and strong commercial judgement, which have enabled him to build trusted relationships with CEOs and management teams. He is equally committed to developing OC&C’s people and wider firm, building strong relationships with teams and contributing to alumni engagement and Learning initiatives.

Commenting on his appointment, Tom said:

“What first drew me to consulting was the variety and challenge of solving different problems for different clients, and 11 years on that remains one of the things I value most about the job.

“Becoming a Partner is an opportunity to take the things I care most about at OC&C to the next level: making a bigger impact with our clients, working with great teams and smart people, and continuing to build the firm and make it an even better place for all of us.

“TMT has been a natural home for me. I’ve always been a media and news junkie, but more importantly it’s a sector that has been evolving in response to continuous disruption and changing business models for decades. That creates challenges for our clients, but also real opportunities for good ideas to make a difference. AI is the latest fundamental shift, particularly in media where it has the potential to transform how content is produced, packaged and consumed. I’m looking forward to helping our clients make sense of those opportunities and turn them into meaningful commercial impact.”

Will Hayllar, Global Managing Partner, OC&C Strategy Consultants said:

“I am delighted to announce Tom’s election to our strong and growing Partnership. Based in London, Tom has become an integral part of our TMT practice, building trusted client relationships and helping to develop areas where we see significant opportunity for further growth.

“It is always a joy to see OC&C’ers join the business as Associate Consultants, progress through the firm and ultimately become Partner. Tom has made an important contribution not only to our clients, but also to our teams and wider firm.

“His election reaffirms our commitment to fostering and nurturing exceptional people, while underscoring our belief that OC&C is the best home for the best strategy talent. I look forward to seeing the impact Tom will continue to have as a Partner.”
