Donna Arenson

For over 18 years, I have built and transformed global business development functions that deliver measurable revenue growth. From origination to execution, I ensure BD strategies are both visionary and practical—aligning teams, processes, and technology to drive impact.

I began my career as a researcher in Deloitte’s Restructuring team during the financial crisis, quickly advancing to lead complex, cross-border BD transformations across the Big Four and Magic Circle firms. Whether merging international pitch functions at A&O Shearman, embedding global research processes at EY, or spearheading cross-border BD strategies at Deloitte, I have consistently delivered results—winning work, strengthening client relationships, and building high-performing teams.
