STRAT7 has appointed Helen Donald as Managing Director of STRAT7’s Advisory practice, a specialist capability dedicated to helping leaders turn insight into impact and achieve their growth goals.
Helen brings 20 years’ experience in research, insights and strategy consultancy. Over the past year, she has led significant Advisory wins and delivery for clients including Kenvue, Zurich, and Nestlé.
STRAT7 Advisory specialises in bringing together cross-functional teams to transform consumer, category and cultural insights into growth strategy roadmaps, consumer-centric brand architectures and now, next and future innovation pipelines.
Advisory works with STRAT7 specialists, proprietary AI via Nucleus, and high-quality consumer, market and competitor insights – giving clients strategic consulting that’s deeper, sharper and better value than standalone consultancies.
The appointment is effective immediately.
Helen Donald,
Managing Director, STRAT7 Advisory
"What excites me most about leading STRAT7 Advisory is the opportunity to help clients cut through complexity and make confident choices about where to invest and how to grow in a world where change is constant and growth is not guaranteed. Too often, insights sit in decks that never leave the boardroom. Our job is to turn them into decisions that actually move the business forward and drive real-world change."
"Helen is one of the sharpest strategic minds I've worked with over the past decade or so. Her ability to translate complex client challenges into clear commercial strategies, drawing on the full breadth of STRAT7’s expertise, makes her the ideal person to lead Advisory. Her appointment reflects how central STRAT7 Advisory is to our integrated offer and the impact we want to create for our clients."
