OC&C expands Germany presence with 7 new Partners & Düsseldorf office

Düsseldorf, 1st October 2024 – Today we announce the appointment of 7 newly elected Partners, based out of a new second office in Germany, Düsseldorf. This new home will complement our well-established Munich office, which was established in 2018.

As the second largest consulting market in the world, Germany has long been a growth priority for us and this news further accelerates the growth we’ve achieved in this critical market.

Collectively, the 7 new Partners, Andreas Enders, Andreas Teller, Chehab Wahby, Hendrik Walter, Jörg Schäfer, Ludwig Voll and Rolf Pensky, bring a wealth of industry-leading expertise to OC&C clients, across many of our core specialisms, including Retail and Consumer Goods.

To support this ambitious initiative, we have also scaled up our German consulting project teams to continue delivering the high quality bespoke consultancy work we’ve become renowned for since the firm was founded in 1987.

Upon the announcement, Will Hayllar, Global Managing Partner, OC&C Strategy Consultants said:

“We are incredibly excited to announce the expansion of our global strategy consulting firm with the opening of our second German office. This strategic move allows us to serve an even wider clientele with high-quality, creative, practical and actionable strategies.

Our commitment to attracting and cultivating top-tier talent is unwavering. We are thrilled to welcome back many accomplished Partners, previously with OC&C, who share our heritage and will be instrumental in driving further growth in the DACH region and beyond in what is now one integrated global firm.

Their return underscores our belief that OC&C truly is the best home for the best strategy talent. Over the years we have invested significantly in building a world-class consultancy and people proposition, and this expansion is a testament to our ongoing success.”

This latest wave of growth is announced against the backdrop of a highly successful 12 months for OC&C, following becoming a Certified B Corporation™ at the tail end of 2023 and recent Partner appointments of Pontus Loftquist, Janine Mandel, James Bridges, Fred Ward and Adam Xu.
