In his new position, Austen will be responsible for leading Oliver Wyman’s business across Asia Pacific, which spans 12 offices in key business centres such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Tokyo.

Austen, who is based in Singapore, rejoins Oliver Wyman from NatWest where he served as Group Director for Strategy, Corporate Development and Sustainability and was a member of the bank’s Executive Committee.

He brings 30 years of consulting and executive experience to his new role, as well as a strong track record of leadership, having previously led Oliver Wyman’s Financial Services practice in Europe and having established the firm’s Corporate and Institutional Banking practice in Asia.

During his two decades at Oliver Wyman, Austen advised clients on strategy, growth, mergers & acquisitions, and business transformation, regulation, and technology.

“I am delighted to be back at Oliver Wyman and to return to Asia-Pacific and am hugely excited by this new role. Our business is well-positioned to partner with our clients to succeed against the backdrop of the continued transformation of the region and I look forward to working with my colleagues across the region to deliver positive impact,” said Austen.

The appointment will see Austen join the firm’s leadership team, which is led by CEO Nick Studer. “We are thrilled to have Matt back at Oliver Wyman and leading our Asia Pacific business. His wealth of experience and proven track record as a consultant and as a senior executive will stand him in good stead in driving our firm’s strategic initiatives in the region and in supporting our clients' evolving needs,” commented Studer.

New York-headquartered Oliver Wyman has more than 7,000 employees in around 70 offices worldwide. The firm generates revenues of over $2.8 billion.
