How Blue Earth Capital built a finance function at speed - April 17, 2026 - EY Global

How Blue Earth Capital scaled finance at speed to support growth and impact. Learn more: https://www.ey.com/en_gl/services/managed-services

Blue Earth Capital is a global impact investment firm that, in 2022, transitioned from operating with support from Partners Group to an independent operating structure. As the firm continued to scale, it needed to build a resilient, compliant finance function at speed, without diverting focus from its core mission of delivering environmental and social impact.

In this video, Blue Earth Capital shares how it built a scalable finance function in less than six months, drawing on standardized processes, pre configured technology and managed services support. The result is a finance operating model that supports growth, delivers reliable reporting and regulatory compliance, and enables leadership to focus on long term value creation and impact.

The case study highlights how a flexible managed services approach can help fast growing investment firms and carve outs establish strong finance foundations, scale capacity as needed, and maintain transparency and control across jurisdictions.

EY-Parthenon: Navigating change. New realities, timeless lessons. - April 14, 2026 - EY Global

Join Andrea Guerzoni, EY-Parthenon Global Vice Chair, and Bill Achtmeyer, Parthenon Group Founder, discussing how a 30-year legacy was created.

https://www.ey.com/en_gl/services/strategy/parthenon

In this interview, moderated by James O’Dowd, EY-Parthenon explores its journey from the early roots to a 25,000-person global organization operating in more than 120 countries.

The conversation explores how AI and GenAI are changing the pace of strategy work, while in the board room, the differentiator remains human judgement and trusted relationships.

The conversation concludes on the future of consultants and the need for high EQ, the ability to team across cultures and time zones, and a blend of technology fluency and sector expertise. They also stress why consulting can’t be fully remote: the ability to read the room, body language, and client dynamics require being there in person.

Key topics covered in this video:

• Understand how EY-Parthenon grew into a 25,000-person global organization

• Explore cost vs revenue opportunities created by AI and GenAI

• Learn why judgement and trust still matter most in the CEO room
