West Monroe, an Illinois based global business and technology consulting firm, appointed Harin Shetty as President and board member of the company on July 28.
Deputed to report to CEO Gil Mermelstein, Shetty will be based out of the firm's Chicago headquarters.
Shetty succeeds Mermelstein, who previously held the role of President. His appointment bolsters the firm's leadership team as it embarks on a new chapter of growth as an employee-owned firm with backing from strategic investor BDT & MSD Partners.

Shetty joins West Monroe with over two decades of industry experience from his time at Accenture, IBM, and Bearing Point (KPMG).
Most recently, he served as leader of Accenture's Americas Supply Chain & Industry X consulting business, leading a multi-billion dollar business across North America and Latin America.
Mermelstein welcomed his successor and said in a statement, "As we continue growing West Monroe's impact in the market, Harin's experience and leadership will help us scale with intention and stay intensely focused on delivering measurable outcomes for our clients."
The CEO added, "We're a firm powered by people. Harin's global perspective, track record in value creation with clients, operational rigor, and passion for mentorship make him an excellent fit to lead our teams as we build West Monroe as the next generation consulting firm. In addition, like me, Harin is passionate for innovation as a key driver of client impact."
After completing his early education from Don Bosco, Chennai, Shetty pursued advanced specialized education from Northern Illinois University.
Talking about his new journey, Shetty said, "I was drawn to West Monroe because it approaches consulting differently."
"It's a firm that moves quickly, delivers real outcomes, and doesn't overcomplicate things. There's a strong focus on doing what's right for clients and for its people—and that combination is rare," he added.
Sharing his joy, he said, "I'm excited to collaborate with our teams and tap into the firm's strengths to help clients tackle what's next—from rethinking operating models to embracing AI, modernizing technology, and finding new paths to growth."
Outside of work, Shetty devotes time to mentoring emerging leaders and serving as a mental health ally. He is a longtime Chicago resident and supports charitable causes including childhood education, brain health development, and classical and jazz music.
