It takes a special something to change the world. And we have it. Our people are committed, courageous and unafraid of pushing boundaries. Because who we are isn’t just about our heritage – it’s about our entire approach. We were founded in 1967 with a cosmopolitan ethos – linked to our European heritage – that helped craft a vision of independence flavored by ideals of diversity, inclusivity and open exchange.

Today with over 50 offices and 2400 colleagues we have a presence in all major markets. We are the only European consultancy with a strong international footprint and are one of the leading representatives of our industry. We made a promise to our colleagues, both present and future, that we would be an independent partnership. A place where an eclectic mix of people would own the business, so we could always embody diverse thought and insights.

We built the foundations of a strategic management consultancy owned and run by its people. People who feel responsible for the why, what and the how. We forged a start-up culture by bringing a group of the like-minded together and made entrepreneurism one of our core values to set us on a path of constant learning, growth and discovery. And we promised our clients that we would treat them with respect and integrity – and their business like our own.

We opened our Hamburg office in 1990 as part of Roland Berger's strategic expansion throughout Germany. The regional branch represents northern Germany's importance to many vital industries, including the media and shipping sectors.
