His career reflects both breadth and depth, with experience spanning diverse categories such as alcohol, automotive, financial services, FMCG, healthcare, retail, and technology.
Beyond his impressive credentials, Jonty is known for his passion for people, embracing both their gifts and quirks, and his curiosity to learn from every experience. These qualities underpin his ability to integrate disciplines, businesses, and talent across the Groupe to unlock real value for clients.
