Tony Rose
Background & experience

Tony Rose

I spent most of my career working in technology, consulting and complex commercial transactions, including more than twenty years at Accenture in London, Singapore and Australia.

Background

My work ranged from building and leading an IT sourcing practice to negotiating major outsourcing and joint-venture agreements, and later to broader commercial and operational leadership. I worked internationally, mainly across Europe, Asia and Australia, with particular interests in negotiation, commercial problem-solving, finance and dispute resolution.

I left Accenture in 2023. Over the following three years I also undertook a number of voluntary roles in London, including financial capability support and advisory work.
