Kin + Carta Hires BusDev Leader

Digital transformation consultancy Kin + Carta has hired Nick Curran as Director of Business Development, charged with driving expansion of the firm's offer for financial services organisations into new regions.

Kin + Carta employs around 2,000 consultants, engineers and data scientists. The group sold its research consultancy Incite to STRAT7 in September 2021 but has stayed on DRNO's radar due to its wider, substantial use of data and analytics, and this year underlined its presence with the acquisition in May of b2b segmentation, optimisation and analytics firm Forecast Data.

Curran (pictured) joins from a similar role at software development business Endava, which he helped to grow from 1,500 people to more than 12,000, including the opening of new markets and driving strategic relationships with global financial sector organisations.

He reports to Adam Grant-Jones, Chief Growth Officer (Europe), who comments: 'Financial services is our largest vertical globally. We've seen excellent growth of key clients, some by over 150%, and are continuing to win new business despite volatility in the market. Additionally, the acquisition of Forecast Data this year drove further growth and cemented our position as Data, AI, and App Dev experts in this space. Nick joining will capitalise on and accelerate this success. His proven track record of creating and converting substantial, interesting, and valuable work with leading institutions will ensure Kin + Carta continues to partner with the largest, most ambitious companies in banking, wealth, insurance, and payments'.
