Press release

Jiten Kachhela announced as President of PA Consulting

10 June 2026

Jacobs (NYSE: J) appoints Jiten Kachhela as President of PA Consulting (PA), a Jacobs company and global innovation and transformation consultancy, effective immediately.

A seasoned executive, Jiten brings more than 25 years’ experience in the consulting sector. He began his career at PA two decades ago, before leaving for a period to broaden his experience. After re-joining PA in 2016, he has held several senior leadership roles at the firm, including serving as Global Head of Consulting and Global Head of Digital & Data. In these positions, he has played a pivotal role in expanding PA’s Digital & Data capability, building high-performing teams across multiple geographies, and leading and scaling important client relationships.

Jiten will take on leadership of PA from Christian Norris, CEO, who is leaving the firm after a successful tenure where he has overseen growth while creating valuable new opportunities for PA’s clients and team. This includes leading PA during Jacobs’ acquisition of the remaining equity interest of the company, which has created a global advisory and delivery powerhouse – providing solutions that accelerate innovation and drive lasting value.

Jiten is a strong, forward-thinking leader. He’s innovative, market-focused and authentic. I’ve worked closely with Jiten during the past few years and am confident he will drive growth and further strengthen collaboration, as we challenge industry norms and reinvent the future.”
Chair and CEO, Jacobs
I’m delighted to take the role of President of PA at such an exciting time for the business. It is a privilege to lead this talented team. I look forward to building on our strong foundation as we enter this next chapter as part of Jacobs – combining our strengths to deliver even greater impact for our clients and unlock new opportunities for growth.”
