Megan Jones-Tinsley, KPMG

Young Consultant of the Year

MCA Awards 2026 Finalist

Megan was born to be a consultant. She’s been landing jobs since the age of nine and considered making PowerPoints with her sister a perfectly normal teenage pastime.

Fast forward to today: she leads colleagues on high-profile change transformation projects in higher education and central government. She led the creation of training pathways for employees of the new Martyn’s Law regulator – the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 – work that will ultimately save lives.

As a People Consultant in KPMG’s Corporate Services and People Team, Megan always goes beyond the brief. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants her impact to last long after projects end.

Her meticulous approach means she spots opportunities others miss and persuades clients to pursue more ambitious outcomes.

She persuaded the University of Leicester not to cut change management from their curriculum transformation. Understanding their requirements in depth, she challenged their thinking and highlighted the risks. The result: a successful implementation with minimal user error, and the client adopting her approach organisation-wide.

Spotting a broader opportunity, Megan organised a pro-bono workshop with the Executive Leadership Team. She’s now collaborating with senior partners to set the university up for future transformations.

Her colleagues call her the “PowerPoint Guru” for visualising complex information with exceptional clarity. Senior leaders say they jump for joy when she’s on their teams, valuing her ability to anticipate and meet their needs.
