The company, which specialises in pricing, marketing, sales and strategy, said that all of its divisions and regions contributed to its “rapid growth”, and that it had achieved “outstanding” performance in the consumer goods, automotive and technology sectors.

Co-CEO Georg Tacke ( pictured ) said: “Our strongest growth was in the traditional core consulting markets. These markets will continue to support us in the future.”

The firm plans to open offices in São Paulo, Dubai and Istanbul in the next 15 months.
