What Proactive Management Consulting Ltd. (PMC) does

Proactive Management Consulting Ltd. (PMC) is a privately held Hungarian strategic and management consulting boutique founded in 2002 by Dr. Tibor Héjj and headquartered in Budaörs, Hungary. The firm operates with 12 employees and delivers three core service pillars: Strategy Consulting (market entry, international expansion, strategic due diligence, exit preparation), Management Consulting (crisis management, interim CEO, post-merger integration, innovation management), and Capital Attraction/M&A (equity financing, corporate finance, EU grants). Revenue is generated through professional services fees on traditional and success-fee bases, complemented by a consulting-for-shares model with start-ups that produces equity exposure in lieu of cash fees.

PMC serves four horizontal customer segments: large enterprises (notably Pfizer, E.ON, Telekom, MÁV, Erste Bank, MVM, Groupama), start-ups and growth-stage companies (E-med4all, Access4you, Water4All), government and public-sector clients (Ministry for National Economy), and multinational consulting firms seeking local partnership in Central Europe. The firm works through interdisciplinary teams combining management consultants, attorneys, and engineers, and maintains subsidiary or affiliated partner presence in the D-A-CH region, Serbia, USA, and India. PMC has no proprietary technology stack; its intellectual property resides in consulting methodology, founder credibility (prior BCG and A.T. Kearney leadership), and a for-benefit operating model that incorporates Sunflower Non-Profit Ltd. Recent strategic moves include a 2024 Erasmus+ ESG consortium partnership, co-founding of Water4All in 2021, and productization of an ESG Business Model Innovation Training Package.

Core offering

PMC is a Hungarian boutique management consulting firm delivering strategic consulting, management advisory, and M&A and capital attraction services through interdisciplinary teams of consultants, attorneys, and engineers.

Engagements are delivered on traditional, success-fee, and 'consulting-for-shares' bases, particularly for start-ups and early-stage companies.
