Our Team
Justin Whitehouse - Partner
For over 25 years, I’ve worked with boards and executive teams to deliver high-impact interim leadership, tackling challenges like regulatory reform, M&A, IT and operational transformation, crisis management, and commercial strategy. My focus is always on driving measurable results with speed and confidence.
I began my career training as an actuary with a leading mutual insurer before moving into executive interim management in 1999. Since then, I’ve built a trusted network of exceptional interim leaders and a reputation for matching the right expertise to the task at hand.
Outside of work, I enjoy trips to the cinema with my wife—it’s one of the few times she gets a break from my golf obsession. When I’m not on the course, you’ll often find me at live music events.. justinwhitehouse@ospreyclarke.com
