Wilson Perumal & Company works with the senior executives of large corporations, government agencies and private equity firms to help drive significant improvements. 

Our clients are typically senior executives with a strong desire for change and an ambition to find ways to elevate their organization from the pack.  We have experience in a broad range of industries, and work across North America, Europe and Asia.  Recent client examples include:

    was facing widespread challenges stemming from a decentralized space management program and bespoke store layouts throughout their estate.  We developed processes and programs to remove complexity and drive standardisation through a centralized space planning function resulting in $10M per annum in cost reduction. The project was touted by the CEO and Executive Board as best practice for solution development, process redesign, and complexity reduction.

  • A $6B global manufacturer of pressure sensitive materials Read more

  • A $10B diversified global tool company Read more

    with a leading professional automotive tools brand in a turnaround situation brought us to use our unique portfolio optimization methodology to rapidly identify and take out a significant portion of SKUs and working capital while limiting the revenue risk.  This work was featured at the company’s annual meeting and provided a repeatable methodology which the company has incorporated into its Center of Excellence.

  • A $10B consumer goods company Read more

The result was eye-opening for the client as there was a significant difference between actual product segment profitability and what had been initially believed. We also provided a new perspective for evaluating new market opportunities.    

  • A $25B energy company Read more

    recently engaged us to help tackle a myriad of critical issues in a large scale processing operation in order to reduce operational risk and improve process safety and overall performance of the facility.  We are currently using our process and systems perspective to improve oversight, work practices, controls, and supervisory and leadership skills.

What Our Clients Say About Us

We measure ourselves by the impact we have on our clients, and what they say about us to others. 

Here’s what they tell us:

  • “You’re easy to work with” Read more

    We hear this time and time again, and understand that collegiality is a critical component to an effective team. We truly partner with our clients and like working with them.  We know we are most effective, having established real and trusted working relationships with our clients. That’s one of the reasons why we keep getting invited back.

  • “Over the last few years we have used many consulting firms, including McKinsey and Bain, but we feel we got the most value in this area out of WP&C.” Read more

    Our point-of-view, mix of expertise, analytical methodology and our DNA differentiate us from other top strategy firms, and it’s apparent to our clients. In our domain, on the issues relating to competing in a complex world, we are perceived as being without equal. 

  • “You focus on the right things” Read more

    Clients frequently appreciate our perspective that it is better to have an 80% view across a full set of dimensions, than a 100% view on any one specific dimension. Many firms get lost in the weeds.  We share our clients’ priorities and focus on actionable insight and results, not reports that sit on a shelf.

  • “You are number one on our list of list for firms to call when we need help.”
