Background[]

Co-founder Hermann Simon

Simon-Kucher & Partners was founded by Hermann Simon and his doctoral students, Eckhard Kucher and Karl-Heinz Sebastian, in Bonn in 1985.[6] At the time, Simon was a professor at the University of Bielefeld but his specialization in corporate pricing policy began much earlier when he was a doctoral student in the late 1970s.[7]

In 1996, Simon-Kucher & Partners became the first independent German consultancy to establish a subsidiary abroad when the firm opened an office in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[8] This was the beginning of Simon-Kucher & Partners' international expansion with one or two new offices opening annually, starting with Paris, Zurich, Tokyo, and Munich.[9] The firm is led by a board, consisting of nine partners from different countries and offices. Mark Billige and Andreas von der Gathen are the company's co-CEOs since January 1, 2020.[10] Dr. Georg Tacke was CEO since 2009, when Hermann Simon stepped down as board chairman, a position that he had held since 1995.[11]
