Digital Convergence

What Digital Convergence does

Digital Convergence is a private executive advisory firm headquartered in Herrsching, Germany, founded in 2006 by Harry Strasser, the former Chief Technology Officer of Siemens and Chief Strategy Officer of Philips. The firm delivers senior-level advisory, keynote speaking, and management consulting focused on strategic growth, open innovation, and digital transformation for three primary client segments: C-suite leadership at international corporations, German Mittelstand market leaders, and founders of innovative startups and IT companies. Its core technology is the firm's advisory expertise itself, centered on digital convergence themes including artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, new mobility, and wearable technologies, delivered through personal engagements rather than software products.

The firm's operating model is built on Harry Strasser's individual proprietorship, augmented by a formalized ecosystem of seven strategic partner companies spanning business process management (Axon Ivy, Bamero), IT services (Axsos, ServiceFactum), open innovation platforms (Navispace), management consulting (TCI Transformation Consulting), and wearable technologies (Wearable Technologies AG, where Strasser serves on the board). This network enables the firm to offer bundled advisory-plus-execution services that a solo practitioner otherwise could not deliver.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services engagements, including strategic advisory retainers, keynote speaking honoraria at international conferences, and startup mentorship/management angel services. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based with no disclosed rate card, customer concentration is high due to the boutique single-principal model, and no products, APIs, or proprietary technology platforms are offered. The firm maintains a global speaking footprint across Germany, Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific but does not disclose revenue, headcount growth, or funding activity.
