“As client needs grow and transformation challenges become more layered, we’ve been very intentional about strengthening our leadership team with individuals who bring both strategic depth and operational fluency,” said John Hoff, co-founder, senior partner and CEO of Blue Skies Consulting. “Inder, Kamal and Matthew each bring a rare blend of technical proficiency, hands-on leadership and business-first thinking—essential qualities for navigating the kind of transformation work where success is measured in outcomes, not just implementation.”

With studies showing that up to 70% of business transformations fail to meet their goals, Blue Skies Consulting is structured to address the root causes—from misaligned teams to disconnected systems. These appointments reflect the firm’s continued focus on solving the most commonly overlooked—and most critical—elements of transformation. While many firms approach change through narrow focuses like technology or process, Blue Skies Consulting leads through business integration: Connecting strategic vision to operational reality by aligning people, systems, processes, data and decisions from day one. With deep experience in data strategy, governance and program leadership, Johal, Patel and Jackiewicz reinforce the firm’s ability to reduce transformation risk and deliver lasting results.

• Inder Johal – Senior Partner and Head of Enterprise Data Management | Johal will spearhead the firm’s data initiatives by overseeing enterprise-wide capabilities—including AI/ML-enabled solutions—while guiding client delivery, mentoring emerging talent and helping organizations unlock the full potential of their analytical assets. With more than a decade of experience in enterprise data strategy and SAP S/4HANA programs, he has led large-scale transformations for clients such as Johnson & Johnson, Brother and Kenvue. Prior to joining Blue Skies in 2013, Johal held roles at Capgemini and Warner Bros., where he specialized in SAP solutions for the media and entertainment sector—experience that now complements a global project portfolio spanning Latin America, EMEA, Asia and the U.S., with deep expertise in life sciences, consumer goods and healthcare.

• Kamal M. Patel – Partner and Head of Program Leadership and Operational Excellence | Patel’s new leadership role will focus on centralizing program governance, strengthening internal delivery capabilities and applying a people-first lens to operational change. He will also play a critical role in aligning transformation programs across teams and business units. Patel’s background spans finance, internal audits and global program delivery, with successful initiatives at Tiffany & Co. and Terumo Medical Corporation. Known for his structured, integrated and transparent approach, he excels at building systems of accountability that support long-term business goals.

• Matthew Jackiewicz – Partner and Head of Advisory Services | Bringing over a decade of experience in shaping and delivering large-scale transformation programs, Jackiewicz has joined Blue Skies Consulting to lead the firm’s strategy & advisory group. In this role, he will oversee the development and execution of business and technology strategies, integrated roadmaps, end-to-end architecture, process and solution design, operating model and organizational design and strategic program management. His work will span critical domains including ERP, data and analytics, integrated business planning, artificial intelligence and digital transformation. Jackiewicz is committed to helping clients stay focused on delivering tangible business outcomes. His approach emphasizes roadmaps that are operationally executable and solutions that are scalable, cross-functional and built to drive sustainable value. Prior to joining Blue Skies Consulting, Jackiewicz served as vice president at Verizon, where he led one of the world’s largest ERP implementations, supporting more than $100 billion in revenue. He was instrumental in shaping the company’s enterprise data and analytics strategy, integrated business planning efforts and emerging technology initiatives involving AI and blockchain. His previous executive roles at Accenture and Johnson & Johnson centered on ERP transformation, data strategy, operating model design and integrated planning.

“This team turns strategy into sustainable success, aligning vision with execution in ways most firms cannot,” added Hoff. “Each appointment reflects our ongoing commitment to building a leadership bench that brings clarity to complexity and thrives in nuance—connecting what works in theory to what holds in practice and redefining what transformation should look like going forward.”
