Gaurav Modi has been appointed as the ASEAN and Singapore consulting leader.

In his role, Modi will provide strategic leadership to consulting services, spanning business consulting, technology consulting and people advisory services.

He will be responsible for business performance, client service and talent development for Consulting services in ASEAN.

Based in Singapore, Modi has over 22 years of deep consulting experience, business development capability and market credentials.

Modi joins from Capgemini, where he was Southeast Asia executive vice president and managing director and concurrently led the telecommunications sector for Asia Pacific and Japan.

"Gaurav is an accomplished and distinctive leader who combines both outstanding credentials and vast experience, and demonstrates a strong alignment with our culture and values," EY ASEAN managing partner Liew Nam Soon says.

"He brings the ideal experience of leadership ability and consulting expertise to help our clients with their business transformation needs.

"Over the last few years, EY Consulting services have been expanding rapidly, particularly in the areas of technology, digital, innovation, analytics and cybersecurity.

"With Gaurav on board, we have further consolidated our strengths in consulting and are, more than ever, well-positioned to help businesses execute their transformation and growth aspirations seamlessly across the region.

"We will continue to make investments in EY people and solutions, so as to bring the best of the EY organisation to clients," Liew Nam Soon adds.

"We are in a transformative age where leaders are adapting to a new landscape by innovating their business model, elevating their customer and workforce experiences, and finding new ways to leverage data and technology," Gaurav says.

"How can organisations balance the three imperatives of putting humans at the centre, leveraging technology at speed and enabling innovation at scale as they transform to realise long-term value for their people, business and society as a whole?

"I'm excited to join EY, a truly multidisciplinary professional services organisation, and work with talented teams and [an] ecosystem of partners to serve clients, while at the same time, propel EY to the next stage of growth."
