PA Consulting hires Lenka Hennessy as partner in US transport practice

PA Consulting, a London-headquartered innovation and transformation consulting firm, has hired Lenka Hennessy as a partner in its US transport practice in Washington, DC.

Hennessy brings more than 20 years of experience in transportation and infrastructure capital programs and IT consulting.

She joins PA from Alvarez & Marsal, where she spent five years and was senior director for infrastructure and capital projects. Before that, Hennessy was senior director of product development and customer experience at Amtrak and a senior manager of sales strategy and operations at Symantec.

Earlier in her career, Hennessy spent a decade with PwC, where she was a senior manager working on IT consulting engagements.

She has an MBA from Georgetown University and a bachelor’s degree in business from Suffolk University.

“Lenka’s appointment marks an exciting step forward for our Transport team in the US. Her track record of delivering complex capital investment and infrastructure programs across both public and private sector environments will bring valuable perspective to our clients,” said James Dowle, global head of rail at PA Consulting.

The consulting firm’s transport practice serves clients across road, rail, aviation, and logistics.

PA has more than 4,000 people in the US and Europe advising business and governments on strategy, products and services, AI and data, organizational performance, program delivery, and people.

“I look forward to working with our transportation clients to help them adapt, grow, and thrive as they set out to achieve their business and sustainability goals,” Hennessy said.
