What Partner Consulting does

Partner Consulting is a Brazilian strategic business consulting firm founded in 2001 that delivers advisory services across three integrated practice areas: Corporate Governance, Strategic Management, and Corporate Finance. The firm serves mid-market and enterprise clients—particularly family-owned businesses, cooperatives, and multinational subsidiaries—with a portfolio of 26 distinct consulting offerings covering governance diagnosis and implementation, family council and succession, strategic planning, performance management, supply chain optimization, digital transformation, valuation, and M&A advisory. Service delivery is methodology-driven rather than technology-product based, with the firm explicitly positioning its offering as tailored, non-formulaic advisory work performed by senior consultants with operating experience.

The firm operates a professional services business model with project-based engagements priced per scope and complexity, typically combining a fixed fee component with a success-based component tied to outcomes. Partner Consulting distributes services through direct consultative sales initiated via WhatsApp and website contact, supported by content marketing (corporate blog, founder-led 'Blog Papo Reto', YouTube, LinkedIn), institutional presentations, and e-books. It claims 20+ years of experience, 170+ delivered projects, and approximately R$100 billion in advised business transactions, with a named enterprise client roster spanning Renault, Bayer, Novartis, Electrolux, Reckitt, O Boticário, Correios, GVT, and more than ten Brazilian agribusiness cooperatives. The firm is headquartered in São Paulo, with additional offices in Curitiba (southern Brazil) and Orlando, Florida, the latter supporting cross-border Brazil–U.S. M&A activity alongside founder Rui Rocha's parallel investment firm, Upside Investment.
