James O’Sullivan, CEO of the leading, independent, business transformation consultancy, Project One, has today been named the ‘Most Influential CEO of the Year 2024 – London Management Consulting’ by CEO Monthly. This is the second year James has been recognised as the ‘Most Influential CEO’.

This award recognises James’ almost 30 years of experience in change and transformation, partnering with global organisations to deliver their most business-critical change and transformation programmes. Nominees are identified and determined by the in-house research team at CEO Monthly over a number of months.

This recognition follows the recent success with the Financial Times Leading Management consultants report where Project One has been listed for five consecutive years. This was a record breaking 11 awards across 9 industries and 2 services including Digital Transformation and Organisation and Change. Project One was also awarded a Best Workplace in Consulting and Professional Services by Great Place to Work in 2023, as well as overall Best Workplace in medium organisations, and a Best Workplace for wellbeing.

On receiving his accolade, James recognises the power of the team as a success factor for Project One, saying:

“I’m extremely proud to be recognised for a second time by CEO Monthly. It’s a great accolade to achieve and I’m humbled to receive this award on behalf of our company and consulting team. I often talk about the ‘Power of the Team’, after all, it’s only through the collective experience, knowledge, and delivery excellence of our team, that we continue to drive innovative and value-adding business-critical change and transformation programmes, helping to make a real difference to our customers’ businesses and to the lives of their customers.”

CEO Monthly’s process begins with looking at individuals who meet or exceed their set criteria, within a range of industry sectors, and those who are innovators within their particular field. The criteria includes outstanding customer reviews and testimonials for the company, previous accolades and achievements of the individual and the business, digital presence, and company development and expansion.
