It takes courage to embrace change and transform your business, we know, we’ve been there and that’s why we set up TORI Global to put real industry experience at the heart of consultancy

One that was founded on deep industry experience, by people who genuinely empathised with our customers. We deliver an outstanding experience that puts our clients at the heart of everything we do. We work with energy and pragmatism to find solutions to our clients' problems and produce unparalleled results.

It takes courage to embrace change and transform your business. We know. We’ve been there. That’s why we set up TORI Global. To put real industry experience at the heart of consultancy. So you get the best independent advice and specialist expertise for the success you deserve.

We believe that delivering success for customers relies on successful partnerships, and that successful partnerships are founded on the values of Trust, Openness, Respect and Integrity. We focus on OUTCOMES rather than procedure; DELIVERY not work; RESULTS not activities. We are truly global, with a footprint in four of the seven continents across the world.

Our people are not just career consultants. They have held senior roles in global firms and understand your markets, your business and the challenges you face. We complete every project with speed, agility and a superior return on investment. We enjoy being different and won't shy away from hard truths. Our innovative, hands-on, no-nonsense approach delivers exceptional results for our clients. We bring deep expertise and wide experience across the banking, wealth management and insurance sectors. We bring integrity and honesty to the way we work. Our forward thinking approach allows us to tailor our services to accurately meet our clients' needs.

All staff from the CEO down spend a significant amount of their time on client assignments so as to remain up-to-date with current issues and trends within our clients’ businesses and markets. TORI operates on a global basis, supported by our worldwide Alliance Partners. We work to ensure that these four values are inherent in everything we do, from internal processes to service delivery.

We recognise that our most important asset is our people - people that are passionate about both the work they do and about our organisation. The relatively small size of our firm (excluding our associates) ensures that everyone feels part of our success and helps drive the business forward.
