Charles-Edouard Bouée commented: "Our firm has a German heritage and European roots. That gives it a unique DNA, setting us clearly apart from other strategy consultancies. We stand for game changing ideas and the lasting success of our clients all over the world." The Partners at the meeting expressed their vision of building the most valuable consulting firm in the eyes of all stakeholders.
"I am delighted that our election of a non-German CEO, a man who has demonstrated his capabilities by developing markets around the globe, provides further definitive proof of our credentials as a globally operating strategy consultancy of German and European origin," said the company’s founder and honorary chairman, Roland Berger, after the election.
Charles-Edouard Bouée and Roland Berger thanked Burkhard Schwenker for his outstanding work and his commitment to the firm. Schwenker, who was already CEO from 2003 to 2010, had moved from chairmanship of the Supervisory Board to CEO again in May 2013 after the former CEO stepped down from the role. He was the key driver of the company’s realignment, working closely with Charles-Edouard Bouée, who was Chief Operating Officer (COO) during this period.
In accordance with the procedures of the partnership, the Supervisory Board will elect the Chairman and approve the Deputy CEOs proposed by Charles-Edouard Bouée soon.
