Newly launched UK practice builds on established track record in driving
innovation and transformation within US energy sector
LONDON, November 12, 2024 – Capco, the global management and technology consultancy, has today announced the appointment of Rob Deakin to Head of its UK Energy practice, based in London. A long-standing Partner at Capco with over 20 years of consulting and industry expertise, Rob’s new role will focus on building out and accelerating the growth of Capco’s successful Energy practice in the UK.
Prior to joining Capco in 2011, Rob delivered transformational consulting services to BP and Shell across Europe and North America. This work encompassed trading and operations consulting, along with strategic advice on regulatory remediation.
The expansion of Capco’s global Energy practice to the UK will draw on Capco’s proven track record of driving transformation across both the financial services and energy industries, leveraging Capco’s significant experience in areas such trading & risk management (TRM), regulatory remediation, and digitalization to deliver change initiatives for our UK Energy clients.
Established in Texas over 25 years ago and with a strong footprint today in both the US and Brazil, Capco’s Energy consulting business includes practices focused on the entire energy value chain including Utilities, TRM, Energy Transition, Retail & Wholesale Energy, Oil & Gas, and Midstream.
The energy sector is experiencing unprecedented change, driven by digitization, decentralization, decarbonization, and AI-driven electricity demand, all requiring investment in capital infrastructure, and transformation.
Lance McAnelly, Global Head of Energy at Capco, said: “I am delighted to announce Rob in this key new role within the Energy leadership team. His appointment underlines our commitment to sharing our deep energy-related expertise and experience with firms in the UK and beyond to help them navigate today’s complex landscape and build strong and sustainable offerings in the future.
“Energy businesses are under increasing pressure including regulatory, capital cost, societal, geopolitical, and energy transition related change. The transition to a greener energy future is also creating both opportunities and challenges for traditional energy businesses as they strive to reach net zero carbon emissions goals by 2050.”
Rob Deakin said: “The acceleration of investment in renewable energy and distributed energy resources is creating a pressing need for domain expertise focused on organizational transformation and digitization to reduce the risks these changes have created. With our strong energy domain knowledge and proven execution ability, Capco is ideally placed to assist energy businesses across the value chain with these change initiatives.”
