Xalient

22nd September 2025

We’re excited to announce the appointment of Andrew Critchley as Head of our UK Identity Practice and Global Identity Managed Services at Xalient.

With more than a decade of global IAM experience, Andrew brings deep expertise in strategy, delivery, and managed services. He joins us from Capgemini, where he led the creation of their Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solution, integrating technologies from market leaders including CyberArk, SailPoint, and Ping Identity — all key Xalient partners.

"I am thrilled to be joining Xalient at this stage in their journey to becoming the leading global boutique provider of Identity-driven security. With Identity at the very core of Xalient's offerings, and its proprietary intellectual property – such as its AI-Ops platform MARTINA – already providing technology differentiation, I'm excited about the potential for Xalient to continue its rapid growth, especially through its Identity Managed Services solutions."

What Andrew brings to Xalient

  • Global IAM Leadership
    Over 10 years of hands-on experience delivering enterprise-scale identity solutions.
  • Deep Partner Expertise
    Proven success in deploying solutions from CyberArk, SailPoint, Ping Identity, and more.
  • Managed Services Vision
    Track record of building and scaling global Identity Managed Services offerings.

Driving Forward Our Identity Strategy

In his new role, Andrew will be responsible for developing Xalient’s Identity Managed Services programme globally, while also leading its UK Identity Practice.

He will bring his knowledge and passion for identity to evolve service delivery and introduce new innovations. This includes supporting customers in achieving their business goals by enabling swift, secure access to critical systems and ensuring compliance across increasingly complex digital environments.  

"Andrew’s expertise in IAM will play a key role as we continue to strengthen our Identity offering in the UK and expand our managed services globally. His deep understanding of the partner ecosystem, including providing advisory roles around the exploitation of technologies from key Xalient partners such as SailPoint and CyberArk, and his insight into customer needs around Managed Identity Services align perfectly with our strategic direction. We’re delighted to welcome him to the team."
