Managing Director

Patrick Murray is Head of Growth for AI by Design at Ankura, based in London. He is a senior growth and enterprise sales leader with more than 16 years of experience building pipelines, shaping complex propositions, and converting strategic opportunities across AI, digital transformation, professional services, and financial services. He works with C-suite buyers, practice leaders, and alliance partners to open markets, expand strategic accounts, and build disciplined, sustainable growth.
Experience
Patrick led commercial development for an enterprise AI proposition within a global professional services organisation. He established the sales vertical and go-to-market engine, built a pipeline exceeding £200 million, and supported more than £40 million of sales, combining executive engagement and proposition shaping with hands-on pursuit leadership, forecasting, and close planning.
On a landmark Generative AI transformation, Patrick brought together capabilities across business lines to secure the organisation’s first cross-service deal of its kind in the UK. He also developed joint market motions with major technology partners, creating partner-sourced opportunities around AI strategy, governance, change, security, and implementation.
In a client leadership role with a private equity-backed financial services provider, Patrick managed two global relationships representing more than £50 million in annual revenue and coordinated cross-border delivery teams. He delivered 15% growth in his first financial year despite a contracting market, while leading account planning, commercial negotiations, and expansion pursuits.
Earlier, Patrick led corporate-account sales for a global market intelligence and consulting business, securing its largest consulting engagement and developing a client-funded machine-learning managed service. He also created a high-value deal framework that strengthened qualification, forecasting, and investment decisions. Earlier roles in technology consulting and defence built his foundations in cross-border origination, proposals, contracting, and risk management.
