Stax LLC, a renowned global strategy consulting firm, has taken a significant step to enhance its strategic footprint in healthcare by appointing Adam Thorpe as the Managing Director for its London office. With 30 years of extensive experience, primarily at KPMG, Thorpe is expected to lead Stax's healthcare vertical across the EMEA region and drive expansion efforts in the UK and European markets.

A Wealth of Experience

Adam Thorpe comes to Stax following an impressive tenure at KPMG, where he spent 25 years focused on strategy consulting in the UK and France. His last role involved spearheading healthcare deal strategies, which perfectly align with Stax's vision of providing top-notch services in healthcare consulting. Over the years, Thorpe has garnered a wealth of knowledge in the healthcare sector and has guided numerous clients through complex transactions and growth initiatives. His expertise encompasses commercial due diligence and the creation of value across the entire transaction lifecycle.

With over two decades of experience advising investors within the intricacies of the British and European healthcare landscape, Thorpe joins Stax's world-class healthcare vertical as the company continues its growth trajectory on both sides of the Atlantic.

Strategic Vision for EMEA Healthcare

Before joining Stax, Thorpe was instrumental in establishing the French strategy group at KPMG, serving in a leadership capacity from 2000 to 2015. He later returned to KPMG UK, where he played a central role in advancing healthcare deal strategies prior to his departure in 2024. Throughout his career, Thorpe has worked extensively in various segments of healthcare, including home care, elderly care, and specialized medical services. His experience spans diverse fields such as mental health, neurodiversity, diagnostics, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals, providing him with a unique perspective on the multifaceted nature of the healthcare ecosystem.

In sharing his excitement about this new chapter with Stax, Thorpe remarked, "Stax has a strong reputation in the US for transaction advisory and strategic consulting, and I am thrilled to join their talented team as we expand further in the UK and Europe. The data-driven, value-oriented approach that Stax employs when working with private equity and corporate clients truly resonated with me, and I am eager to contribute to the growth of our office and our healthcare vertical."
