The March 2026 collaboration with Andersen Consulting extends distribution into a global delivery network spanning 50,000+ professionals across 1,000+ locations, targeting automotive, financial services, healthcare, and public-sector clients. The firm is privately held and management-owned, with Managing Directors Kai Niessen and David Löffler leading the German entity and Dr. Christoph Römer leading the Austrian subsidiary.
