What Freiburger Akademie Beratungsdienstleistungen Gmbh & Co. Kg does

Freiburger Akademie Beratungsdienstleistungen GmbH & Co. KG is a Stuttgart-based, family-owned management consulting boutique founded in 1994 (originally in Freiburg im Breisgau) that delivers two core service lines: Changemanagement consulting and Businesscoaching. Changemanagement engagements cover strategy development, agile methods, process management, and team development for organizational transformation. Businesscoaching spans transition, leadership, personal, and business coaching for executives and employees. The firm applies a systemic, humanistic methodology rooted in social work and addiction therapy, anchored by the principle 'from seed to harvest' (engagement continuity until sustainable, measurable client satisfaction).

The company serves German Mittelstand and large-enterprise clients across automotive (Daimler AG, Mercedes-Benz, Thyssenkrupp), finance and insurance (R+V Versicherung, Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall), healthcare (Robert Bosch Hospital), and nonprofit (German Red Cross) sectors. Named customers suggest marquee enterprise logos, but the firm itself operates with a lean 6-8 person team supplemented by an interdisciplinary partner network. Delivery occurs on-site at the Stuttgart headquarters (Hackländerstr. 23), on client premises, and via remote/digital formats across Europe.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, multi-year professional services contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held by the Mast family, with Linus Mast and Leon Mast serving as co-Managing Directors and Elke Mast as Office Manager; no external investors or parent company are identified. Marketing is primarily relationship-led, leveraging website case studies (Referenzen), LinkedIn, and referrals rather than paid acquisition. The firm is GDPR-compliant under German data protection law. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, or external funding has been disclosed.
