Kevin McCarty
Kevin co-founded West Monroe in 2002 as a technology consulting firm designed to deliver tangible business value for clients. It’s why we say we are born in tech but built for business: technology has been in our DNA from the start, and this was part of Kevin’s founding vision of the firm. Today, under Kevin’s leadership, West Monroe’s success is based on our experienced, multidisciplinary teams that combine the industry, technology, and operational know-how our clients need to transform how they do business—and make it stick.
As chairman and CEO of West Monroe, Kevin is laser-focused on ensuring our teams are empowered to deliver measurable financial value to our clients in excess of fees charged. Kevin is highly tuned into the needs of our clients. Those satisfaction surveys we send? Kevin personally reviews each one and dedicates time to reach out to clients directly to understand their feedback and apply learnings from it.
Kevin is a big-picture visionary and has guided the firm’s journey from its humble beginnings to our emergence as one of the most progressive, people-first firms in our industry. He cultivates an enthusiastic challenger mindset, constantly reminding our people that we can always care more, do more, and deliver better results – every day, for every client, on every project.
Kevin received EY's Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2018 Award in the business services category in the Midwest. In 2013, Consulting Magazine recognized Kevin as one of its Top 25 Consultants in the “Excellence in Leadership” category.

I think the partnership model has sailed. If you’re willing to stick it out and you’re good enough, you can get on the partner gravy train but it’s becoming harder and harder, and taking longer and longer. Meanwhile, distributing all the profits and not focusing on earnings, enterprise value and equity appreciation is a flaw.
