Andromeda Consulting

What Andromeda Consulting does

Andromeda Consulting is a boutique corporate advisory firm founded in 1994 and headquartered at 74 Boulevard d'Italie, Monte Carlo, Principality of Monaco. The firm specializes in mergers and acquisitions advisory, cross-border transaction structuring, and broader corporate business strategy consulting, with a publicly disclosed track record of advising on cumulative transaction volume exceeding $5 billion since inception. Its client base consists of corporate buyers, sellers, and targets across 9 countries spanning Europe (Italy, UK, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Monaco, Switzerland) and North America (United States).

The firm operates with approximately 8 employees under a Managing-Partner-led model; Franco Quillico serves as the principal and brings senior pedigree spanning McKinsey, Bain, and Salomon Brothers, an MBA in Finance from the Wharton School (Beta Gamma Sigma, 1984), and a Polytechnical-Milan engineering background. Quillico concurrently holds academic appointments at MIP (Professor of Banking and Finance), Wharton (visiting lecturer), International University of Monaco (Professor of M&A), and Management Centre Europe (Faculty Member), which serve as both a credibility anchor and a continuous client-prospecting channel. The firm's underlying technology footprint is minimal: a static corporate website (XHTML/CSS, copyright 2007) and a basic secure client portal for project-document access.

Andromeda generates revenue through professional-services fees, specifically retainers, transaction success fees, and hourly consulting rates negotiated on a per-engagement basis — consistent with a boutique M&A advisory model. Go-to-market is direct, enterprise field-sales driven, relying almost entirely on Quillico's personal network, repeat clients, referrals, and academic visibility rather than paid marketing or channel partnerships. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the firm maintains no formal partnerships, alliances, or third-party distribution agreements. Customer concentration is high by construction given the small team and project-based delivery model.
