Management consulting

Hire a strategy consultant in Greece and Cyprus

The rigour of a top strategy firm applied to your question, by the person who actually does the work.

Strategy work in Greece and Cyprus has usually meant a large firm's leverage model: a partner sells the study and juniors build it. An independent strategy consultant inverts that: the person who takes your question frames it, does the analysis and defends the answer. The questions that arrive most often:

Where the next growth comes from, and what it will take to get there
Entering or leaving a market, in Greece and Cyprus or abroad
A portfolio decision: what to keep, buy, sell or close
A board that needs a decision it keeps postponing

Many of the strategy consultants on Hellenic Talent are alumni of top strategy houses; the rest are elite professionals from Big 4 firms and senior industry roles. They work in this market rather than flying in for it, for family businesses, corporates, scale-ups and PE funds.

What does a strategy consultant actually do?

Frame the strategic question before any analysis begins
Build the growth strategy on market evidence, not ambition
Size a market entry into or out of Greece and Cyprus, down to the route to market
Give an independent view on portfolio and investment decisions
Pressure-test the business plan before a board or a buyer does
Run the board session that ends in a decision

How to choose the right strategy consultant

Shows the working
Can walk you through a past recommendation, from the market data to the figure the board voted on, without naming the client.
Has disagreed with a board
Has told a board its preferred option was wrong, and can explain the analysis that showed it.
