About Simon-Kucher
For over thirty-five years, we have been at the forefront of helping our clients achieve profitable growth.
- You can read more of our history here
- and if you are unsure how to pronounce our name, why not have a look here? Yes, we do have a sense of humour…
We do this by helping our clients optimize every lever of their commercial strategy – product, price, innovation, marketing and sales – based on deep insights into what customers want and value.
Today, Simon-Kucher is one the fastest-growing consultancies in the world, with offices in 30+ countries and employing over 2,000 people.
Our work encompasses five key sectors - Consumer & Retail, Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Industrials and Technology, Media and Telecoms.
If you are reading this, you have probably already seen and felt some of our work without realising it!
For example,
- We advise on new medicines and therapies to bring them successfully to market, help sales teams sell better and more profitably, and help retailers and manufacturers bring new products and services to customers at the right price.
- We advise on transactions to make sure the deal will deliver the expected benefits. Then work with those companies to make sure they stay successful.
- Our digital teams help clients acquire new customers and keep more of their existing customers, and we develop apps and software that help our clients stay at the top of their game.
And that’s just a few things our client-facing teams get involved in! Supported by our HR, Finance, Marketing, Legal and IT business professionals.
But unlike most consulting firms, our focus is not on cost-cutting – we prefer to work on growing businesses, both big and small, right across the globe.
