International Network
| An initiative was launched in 2008 aimed at the creation of one of the leading international management consultancy networks specialized in Financial Services in the European market. |  |
 | |
| This initiative was brought to life starting with 2009 thanks to the strategic partnership with zeb/rolfes.schierenbeck.associates, an international management and IT consultancy company which counts 12 offices in 7 European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine). With more than 800 employees and several subsidiaries, zeb/ is among the leading consulting firms for banks, insurance companies and other financial service providers. | |
In 2010 the network have has been enlarged, with the new strategic partnership among Resolving Strategy Finance, zeb/ and Equinox Consulting.
Equinox Consulting is a consulting group headquartered in Paris and primarily focused on the financial services industry. With 150 consultants and two offices in France and Spain, Equinox is one of the largest French management consulting firms for banks, asset managers and insurance companies.
Geographically this partnership will cover operational needs in Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg as well as Central and Eastern Europe. In total, Resolving, zeb/ and Equinox Consulting employ 800 consultants working in 15 offices across 10 countries.
By working together, the three companies can respond even more specifically to international as well as regional issues of their clients, international banks, asset managers and insurance groups.
Ugo Massa, CEO of Resolving, explains: "This partnership will be successful because of three elements distinguishing us from other consulting companies: We can effectively compete at both local and European level. Being focused on FS, our three companies can offer deep know how and expertise. Lastly, we share the same personal and professional values, making joint teams across countries more effective.”
Dr. Andreas Rinker, Managing Partner of zeb/, states: "Equinox Consulting and Resolving are excellently positioned companies with similar specialisations as zeb/. Together, we offer the perfect basis for multinational consulting projects. As a result, we strengthen our position in our core markets and, at the same time, open up interesting perspectives in longterm growth markets.”
Jean-François Rigal, CEO of Equinox Consulting, comments: “The partnership built with zeb/ and Resolving gives us a very strong European base, increases our international execution capacity and will allow us to accompany our large clients in the transformation of their operating model.”
