Brandt & Partners

What Brandt & Partners does

Brandt & Partners GmbH is a German boutique management consulting firm founded in 2019 and headquartered in Rosenheim, with additional consultant locations in Berlin. The firm operates as a network of independent partners — most of whom are former C-suite operators (CEOs, COOs, procurement leaders) — who deliver engagements under a shared brand. It serves mid-sized and large enterprises, with stated focus on FMCG/Food, Printing, Automotive, Lighting/Semiconductors, and IT/Digitalization verticals, primarily in Europe with stated reach into the Americas.

The firm offers four core service lines: Business Consulting (with specialized modules including a 6-step Post-Merger Integration framework, an Indirect Procurement Optimization Program with a guaranteed 10% cost reduction, an Enterprise Health Program using a 10-dimension diagnostic, an International Expansion program for Food & FMCG manufacturers, Print Production Optimization, and M&A Advisory), Executive Search for senior and C-level roles, Interim Management for leadership gaps and transitions, and Career Solutions for executive transition support. Its intellectual property sits in codified consulting methodologies and partner-led industry expertise rather than in proprietary software platforms; no AI/ML technology, API, or productized SaaS is disclosed. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to engagement scope and client size, with free initial consultations offered via Calendly as a low-friction entry point.

Revenue is earned through professional-services project mandates across all four lines. Go-to-market is consultative and relationship-led: partners source engagements from prior-executive networks, supported by a content-marketing engine (blog, LinkedIn, industry landing pages) and free discovery offers. The firm is privately held by founder-CEO Dieter Brandt, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or public financial reporting; client logos are limited to anonymized case studies spanning Insurance, IT, Automotive, and Lighting sectors.
