Last week the global commercial officers of Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. launched Booz & Company, a premier global management consulting firm for businesses, government ministries and other organizations. London-based Shumeet Banerji, formerly President of the firm’s global commercial business, has been elected Chief Executive Officer of Booz & Company, and Joe Saddi, based in the Middle East, will serve as Chairman of the new organization’s 16 member Board of Directors. This launch follows the recent announcement of a strategic investment by The Carlyle Group to buy out the global commercial officers’ majority interest in Booz Allen’s US government business. This will result in the legal separation of the US government and the global commercial firms. Booz & Company is currently a subsidiary of Booz Allen Hamilton and will become a legally independent firm upon completion of the strategic realignment.

The latest annual survey of CEO turnover at the world’s 2,500 largest publicly traded corporations released by management consulting firm Booz & Company revealed that counter to common perceptions, the worst performing chief executive officers actually faced a low probability of being forced from office in the short term.
