Change management following, or in anticipation of, a major business event invariably involves change for people. Whatever the organisational event or business model, getting the right commercially driven HR solutions can often make the difference between success and failure.
John Renz has around thirty years’ experience in HR and has worked across most sectors and ownership models. Most recently he has provided interim HR support within a major tech company and a large asset management company. He was previously Group HR Director of specialist Lloyd’s underwriting business Novae Group Plc, and before that spent five years as HR Director at Mourant, helped manage the merger that created CMS Cameron McKenna, and held senior positions with Standard Life, global accounting and business advisory firm Grant Thornton, and City law firm Linklaters. In short, he has a track record in both the thinking behind, and the ‘sharp end’ of, successful delivery.

- M&A: provided high level support in both acquisition and disposal mode and been part of transaction teams
- Advised an international business advisory firm on development and implementation of a new remuneration strategy across seven different international locations
- Worked with Remuneration consultants to design and implement a new annual bonus scheme for investment professionals
