Bain & Company announced leadership changes within its global Performance Improvement (PI) practice which helps clients worldwide unlock sustained productivity, resilience, and shareholder value through the full breadth of Bain's operational and digital expertise.

As organizations navigate economic uncertainty, geopolitical instability, and accelerating digital disruption, Bain's PI practice has become a critical partner for CEOs and their leadership teams. The Practice addresses end-to-end operations (including research and development, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, supply chain, and customer and aftermarket services), corporate support functions (such as finance, human resources, legal and real estate), and overall corporate transformations through Bain's Accelerated Performance Transformation (APT) capability.

By embedding advanced digital, automation and AI capabilities into every solution through Bain's multidisciplinary team of more than 1,500 AI, data and engineering experts, Bain's PI practice empowers organizations to deliver lasting outcomes such as sustained cost reductions, faster speed to market, and improved working capital — all while ensuring clients are capturing top- and bottom-line value at scale and speed to make improvements stick.

To fuel innovation and lead rapid growth of performance improvement capabilities, Bain has expanded its leadership team globally. The new leaders will deepen client partnerships and ensure the practice continues to deliver transformative, enduring value across industries.

Bain's global PI practice will now be co-led by senior partners, Caperton Flood and Simon Henderson, who will serve as the Practice's co-Global Capability Leaders (co-GCLs). They succeed Hernan Saenz who, since joining Bain more than 25 years ago, has helped clients around the world achieve high-value impact through accelerated performance transformation and circular supply chain initiatives. Under Hernan's leadership, Bain PI revenues have tripled.
