Olivia Bennett

Olivia leads Corwell’s Strategy practice, advising boards and CEOs on growth, portfolio choices and market entry. She is known for turning sprawling strategic agendas into three or four decisions a company can actually execute.

Before joining Corwell in 2009, Olivia spent seven years in corporate development at a global consumer goods group, where she led acquisitions across Europe and Latin America. Since then she has guided more than 140 engagements — from repositioning a 60-year-old manufacturer for export growth to building the investment case for a Series C healthcare company.

Olivia writes regularly on strategy for mid-market companies and teaches a module on decision-making at a leading business school. Outside work, she runs, reads history and is slowly learning Italian.
