Our Team

Nick Fletcher - Managing Director

Nick started his career with Deloitte Consulting in the UK. He was a founder member of Moorhouse Consulting, the UK’s premier transformation and program management consulting firm.

Nick established Vivendi Consulting in 2010 to provide clients with hands-on expertise that matches or exceeds ‘big firms’ but comes at a ‘small firm’ price, while providing consultants with a more equitable, entrepreneurial - and fun - alternative career to the leveraged partner model.

 Nick plans, establishes and delivers complex programs.  He has 20 years’ experience in leading and advising large-scale business transformation and infrastructure initiatives in the UK, Europe, North America and Australia.  Nick combines management consulting skills in corporate strategy, business transformation, change management, process improvement, complex program delivery and P3MO with infrastructure strategy, planning, development and delivery expertise.  He also specialises in the preparation and review of strategic and detailed business cases.

 Nick is a trusted advisor to a range of private sector and government agency clients.
