Senior PartnerLondon

As managing partner for Europe, Tunde leads the firm’s work across 23 countries and works with a range of institutions on strategy, digital transformation, AI, analytics, operations, organization, and culture

Tunde is the managing partner for Europe and a senior partner in McKinsey’s London office. He is also a member of McKinsey’s Enablement Team, the firm’s global leadership body. In his client service, he works with a range of financial services, private equity, real estate, consumer-facing, and public sector institutions on strategy, digital transformation, analytics, operations, organization, and culture—ultimately aspiring to make these institutions future-fit, resilient, and positioned for sustainable, inclusive growth.

Tunde was one of the leaders that helped build and scale McKinsey Digital, assembling design, software engineering, analytics, and product capabilities to support clients on digital transformation, new business builds, and the application of data analytics/AI at scale. He was previously the managing partner for McKinsey’s UK, Ireland, and Israel office cluster, and prior to that the firm’s global chief technology and platform officer, responsible for advancing our client and colleague-facing technology assets across the world.

Selected research Tunde has published includes deep insights on the evolving UK corporate landscape and how outperformers embed “systematic ambition” into their organizations, as well as an independent report on the scale and impact of the UK arts ecosystem in collaboration with 70+ leading UK arts institutions. He has also sponsored the McKinsey Black Network for many years—a global community of colleagues, alumni, and executives committed to creating an environment that helps develop black leaders in their organizations and support building the next generation of senior black talent.

Outside McKinsey, he is a trustee of Oxfam GB, a not-for-profit organization that fights against poverty, and a board member of Innovate UK, the United Kingdom’s commercial innovation agency, which is part of UKRI. He is also a member of Imperial College Council and on the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy Advisory Council.

Tunde holds a first-class master’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Imperial College London. He was recognized in the King’s Birthday Honours List in June 2025 with a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) for services to business.
