Kurt Salmon has entered into an agreement to join the Retail team of Accenture Strategy. The agreement has been announced publicly to the markets and will be communicated to our clients by each respective account leader shortly.

Accenture Strategy is a new business for Accenture, having launched about three years ago to allow the firm to establish a broader trusted-advisor relationship with the entire C-suite and board.

Obviously, this is one of the biggest events in Kurt Salmon’s history, and we are very excited about the power of the combination of these two leadership consultancies.

In getting to this point, Madison Riley indicated that Kurt Salmon followed a structured and professional process. Kurt Salmon was supported by an investment bank with strong professional services experience and whose culture is quite similar to that of Kurt Salmon. The leadership team was unanimous in the decision to select Accenture Strategy as their future home. Madison is also pleased to say that 100% of the Partners agreed before the deal was announced.

Congratulations to Kurt Salmon and its leadership team for making this bold move.

We will add a brief overview of the agreement and the status of its implementation to the 2017 Alumni Dinner agenda. The dinner will take place on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at 6:00pm at Dunwoody Country Club in Atlanta.
