The partners

RCK Partners, Operators in the Room, 100% Client-Aligned.

In traditional matrix consultancies, you pay partner-level rates for junior analysts to learn on your asset.

At RCK, partner-led means true operational risk-sharing:

Zero Delivery Delegation: The senior partner who pitches the strategy is the operator governing execution on the ground.
Direct Downside Protection: 60% of our fee is at-risk, unlocked only when planned outcomes are met.
Single-Point Accountability: Zero junior layers between operational bottlenecks and the operator who can resolve them.

Named Engagement Partners. Direct operational governance. Aligned entirely with your outcomes.

Shaun Taylor

Managing Partner

With a 25-year track record as a global CIO, COO, and Chief Transformation Officer, Shaun leads RCK Outcome Partners with one core philosophy: consulting should be about results, not billable hours. Under his leadership, RCK builds value-based, risk-sharing partnerships to tackle complex challenges, from M&A integrations and program recoveries to enterprise ERP implementations. Shaun and his practitioner-led team bring hands-on, C-suite expertise to deliver real, measurable enterprise value.

Juan Carlos Baca

Partner · Procurement & Supply Chain

Juan Carlos has led supply-chain and procurement transformations across the Americas, EMEA and Asia, on both the corporate and private-equity sides of the table. His work runs from strategic sourcing to the operational integration of global acquisitions, and he is known for building teams that turn savings targets into sustained, banked results — not one-off wins.

Ana Herrera

Partner · HR Workforce Planning

Ana works where people strategy meets the P&L. Across more than fifteen years spanning HR, finance and workforce planning, she has led everything from large-scale organisational redesigns to global HR-system rollouts, using workforce analytics and total-rewards design to build people strategies that stay financially disciplined under the pressure of a transformation.

Renato Raho

Partner · Retail Operations

Renato spent more than two decades scaling multi-site operations for global brands including McDonald's and Papa John's. That operator's grounding — process optimisation, franchise management and hands-on profit recovery — is what he brings to portfolio companies pushing into new regions or fighting to protect margin, where results are measured on the floor, not in a deck.

Charlie Widdows

UK Partner · Head of Change Practice

A founder and leadership advisor, Charlie heads the change practice at RCK Outcome Partners. He works on the human mechanics of execution — leadership alignment, decision-making maturity and the psychological safety that lets teams move quickly — turning stalled, enterprise-wide change programmes into ones with clear ownership and visible momentum.

Dean Smith

Associate Partner · Commercial Operations

Dean has held C-level roles across telecoms, eCommerce and financial services, and brings that breadth to messy operational problems. His mandates have ranged from M&A funding strategy to turning around global shared-services functions — often where customer experience and business assurance have to be rebuilt at the same time as the numbers.

Alun Evans

Associate Partner · Technology, Blockchain & AI

Alun is a CEO, CTO and product strategist with a physics Ph.D. and more than twenty years building and scaling technology businesses. He pairs a scientist's rigour with hard-won go-to-market and venture-fundraising experience — the combination that matters when a portfolio company needs its product and its engineering capability to scale at once.
