ISG promotes consulting veteran Todd Lavieri to Vice Chairman role

Technology research and advisory firm ISG has promoted Todd Lavieri, currently the firm’s President of Americas and Asia Pacific, to the role of Vice Chairman. 

Todd Lavieri joined ISG in 2014 as President of the Americas region, spanning North America – ISG’s largest division – and South America. After first being promoted to the additional post of President of the Asia Pacific region, he now has seen his boardroom responsibilities expanded with a second role. In his expanded role, Lavieri will, as Vice Chairman, also work closely with Chairman and CEO Michael Connors and other members of the firm’s executive leadership team on corporate strategy and governance matters.

Besides Connors and Lavieri, the company’s Board of Directors consists of David Berger (Chief Financial Officer), Tom Kucinski (Chief Human Resources Officer), Todd Dreger (Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer), Lois Coatney (Global Leader of Managed Services, Esteban Herrera (Global Leader of Research), Chip Wagner (President of Business and Emerging Services), Lyonel Roüast (President of South Europe, Middle East & Africa) and Steven Hall (President of EMEA region).

Lavieri brings over three decades of experience in the consulting industry to his new capacity. During his 13-year spell at Deloitte, he was the Global Leader for Consumer Packaged Goods, and then overall Global Leader for the Manufacturing Industry. In 2003, Lavieri founded Archstone Consulting, a consultancy specialized in finance & operations, which was acquired by The Hackett Group in 2009. Following his exit, he was recruited by IBM to serve as the company’s General Manager for its global consulting division, holding responsibility for all advisory-related service lines (SAP, Oracle, Business Analytics and Strategy & Operations) and industry practices. After 2.5 years in that role, Lavieri became General Manager of IBM’s Canadian organisation. 

Commenting on Lavieri’s appointment, ISG’s chief executive Connors said, “I am pleased to recognize Todd for his terrific first four years with our firm. He is a champion of our ‘Go Digital’ strategy, working closely with members of the ISG leadership team to develop our digital transformation services for clients. He also has helped lead the successful integrations of our acquired businesses during his time with ISG. Todd is a great innovator and builder and continues to add tremendous value to our firm.”

With 1,300 professionals operating in more than 20 countries, ISG is one of the globe’s larger research and execution consultancies in the area of technology.
