'''Jamshed''' "'''Jim'''" '''Wadia''' (born 1947) was a CEO of [[Arthur Andersen]] in August 1997, a post from which he resigned on 7 August 2000 due to his inability to favorably steer the then impending spinning off of [[Andersen Consulting]], now known as [[Accenture]], one of the largest consulting firms in the world at the time.

== Career with Arthur Andersen ==
He was born in [[Mumbai]], [[India]] and studied accounting and law in [[Switzerland]]. He joined Arthur Andersen's consulting practice in [[England]] in 1977 and after a fast rise through the company, became the CEO in 1997 at the age of 49.<ref name="BT People">{{cite web|year=1997 |title=BT People |accessdate=2007-12-25 |url=http://www.india-today.com/btoday/07091997/people.html |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071208230137/http://www.india-today.com/btoday/07091997/people.html |archivedate=2007-12-08 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Resignation from Arthur Andersen ==
In August 2000, Arthur Andersen was directed to spin off Andersen Consulting by the [[International Chamber of Commerce]] while awarding the former $1.2 billion in back payments and with the ruling that Andersen Consulting could no longer use the Andersen name.<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/2000/08/08/consult.2.t.php Arbitrator's Ruling Goes Against Accounting Arm: Consultants Win Battle Of Andersen]; International Herald Tribune</ref> Within four hours of the ruling Wadia resigned. Jim Wadia would provide insight on his resignation years later at a Harvard Business School case activity about the split. It turned out that the Arthur Andersen board passed a resolution saying he had to resign if he didn't get at least an incremental $4 billion out of the $14.5 billion demanded by Arthur Andersen in the lawsuit (either through negotiation or via the arbitrator decision) for the consulting practice to split off, hence his quick resignation once the decision was announced.<ref>{{Cite news| url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/4461169/Andersen-chief-quits-as-14bn-claim-fails.html |title= Andersen chief quits as $14bn claim fails|author= Philip Aldrick|publisher=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date = 8 August 2000}}</ref>
