Phil Malem, who has most recently overseen the rapid growth of Serco’s Middle East advisory business unit, will lead the expansion of this capability to a broader international customer base through +impact.
 
Phil Malem, CEO of +impact, said: “For decades, Serco has brought together the right people, the right technology and the right partners to deliver solutions to some of the world’s most urgent and critical challenges. We manage services delivered to millions of citizens everyday as well as design, operate and maintain critical national infrastructure including passenger experience programmes for some of the world’s busiest airports.

“It was a logical next step for us to bring this deep international experience together with world class advisory services. Put simply, we know what we are advising our customers about – because we have done it.”
