Amanda Woodhouse, KPMG

Team Leader Consultant of the Year

MCA Awards 2026 Finalist

Amanda is the team leader that KPMG goes to when the firm wins particularly challenging government contracts. With a deep sense of integrity, a passion for teamwork and a keen focus on communication, Amanda’s clients, colleagues and stakeholders recognise and embrace her leadership capabilities.

Her recent projects attest to her skills and reputation. From helping Department for Works and Pensions (DWP) plan and execute a rapid organisational transformation through to working with the Home Office to plan and stand up the new Martyn’s Law Regulator, Amanda excels at motivating, supporting and encouraging teams of individuals to achieve their goals.

Talk to anyone who has worked with Amanda and you’ll hear the same thing: she’s inclusive, open and collaborative. She is a critical thinker and a flexible problem solver. She pushes her teams (and her clients) to succeed while also building their confidence and helping them develop their skills. She is detail-oriented – an exceptional project manager – but never loses track of the outcomes she is trying to achieve.

Amanda embodies all the attributes that make an exceptional consulting team leader. She is client-focused and team-oriented. She prioritises transparent and inclusive communication. She rises to challenges yet leads from behind. She is humble and always acts with integrity. She is the type of team leader that consultants want to work with, and clients remember and want to hire.
