I&I partners

I&I is an operating and talent partner firm that transforms companies into creativity-charged and diverse growth organisations. The firm helps leaders from Fortune 50 to Series A companies build future-ready organisations through expertise in talent placement, organisational design, and operations. I&I partners serve as the 'backend engineers' of growth, knowing how to structure, integrate, motivate, and build high-performing, diverse teams engineered for a company's future.

The firm's capabilities span five integrated programmes: talent programmes (addressing leadership and skill gaps, employee engagement, and work quality), organisational transformation (closing gaps between corporate vision and capability), product transformation (optimising product teams to be human-centred, design-led innovators), marketing transformation (modernising marketing departments into creative, full-funnel operations), and operations transformation (breaking silos, unlocking ingenuity, and increasing speed). I&I partners are former operators with deep domain expertise and knowledge of best practices from running billion-dollar brands, P&Ls, and functions of scale.

I&I has delivered measurable outcomes: $25MM in efficiencies found, 250+ design and build-outs of new divisions, 100% talent placement success with zero replacements ever requested, 58% diverse hires through their exec search process, three in-house agency builds earning Ad Age 'In-House Agency of the Year', 39% savings from in-housing a 26-agency roster, and collective recognition as 'World's Most Innovative Company' 27 times. The firm brings 18 years of global work experience across North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia.
