attract top-tier industry leaders," said Paul Edwards, Global Practice Leader. "With over
20 years of experience advising investors and navigating the
complexities of UK and European health and life sciences, Adam
joins our world-class healthcare vertical as we continue to grow
share on both sides of the Atlantic."
Before joining Stax, Adam established and led KPMG's French
strategy group practice from 2000 to 2015. He later returned to
KPMG UK to head deal strategy in healthcare before departing the
firm in 2024. During his career, Adam has gained extensive
expertise in health, care, and life sciences, working across care
types such as home, aged, child, and specialist care, and diverse
segments including mental health, neurodiversity, diagnostics,
education, medical devices, CDMO, and pharma.
"With a well-established reputation as a leader in the US deals
and strategy consulting market, Stax has built a strong team, and
I'm excited to join them as we expand our presence in the UK and
Europe," shared Adam Thorpe. "What drew me to Stax is its
focused, value-driven approach to working with private equity and
corporate clients—leveraging data, insights, and industry expertise
to deliver robust commercial and strategic advice across targeted
industry verticals. I'm eager to contribute to the firm's growth
and the continued expansion of our healthcare practice."
"Adam brings exceptional leadership and sector expertise to the
team, making him a standout addition to Stax," added Phil Dunne, UK Managing Director. "Having
established KPMG's Paris office
