Simon-Kucher is a global strategy consulting firm with offices in 30 countries.[1][2][3] Founded in 1985, the firm focuses on growth strategy, marketing, pricing, and sales.[4]
Background
[edit]
Simon-Kucher & Partners was founded by Hermann Simon and his doctoral students, Eckhard Kucher and Karl-Heinz Sebastian, in Bonn in 1985.[5] At the time, Simon was a professor at the University of Bielefeld.[6]
In 1996, Simon-Kucher & Partners became the first independent German consultancy to establish a subsidiary abroad when the firm opened an office in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[7] This was the beginning of Simon-Kucher & Partners' international expansion with new offices opening annually, starting with Paris, Zurich, Tokyo, and Munich.[8] The firm is led by a board, consisting of nine partners from different countries and offices. Mark Billige and Andreas von der Gathen are the company's co-CEOs since January 1, 2020.[9] Dr. Georg Tacke was CEO since 2009, when Hermann Simon stepped down as board chairman, a position that he had held since 1995.[10]
