“I have been an independent full-time for only eight months, although I have been in consulting in one form or another for 20 years. If my experience remains as good as this one, being an a-connect IP could be the cornerstone of my career going forward.” M.E.B., IP since 2005


a-connect Opens Talent Hub in Germany
Düsseldorf office positions a-connect to serve IPs and clients alike in the heart of Europe's largest consulting market
by Igor Skender

Driven by a very strong talent presence and a promising consulting market, a-connect is further expanding with the opening of a German talent hub in Düsseldorf in October 2006

Why Germany? For more than a year we have been actively involved in client projects in Germany. So far we were able to successfully deliver more than a dozen engagements for half a dozen different clients. Having over 40 IPs in our pool residing in Germany (and another 20 German citizens living abroad) we already had a taste of what Germany has to offer on the independent professional side.

Why Düsseldorf? In ensuring easy access to many current and potential clients, Düsseldorf was unbeatable. Besides having easy access to the entire upper Rhein region (Ruhrgebiet), one can quickly reach Frankfurt and Hamburg as well. For the office location we choose the ‘Stadttor’, a prestigious building in the heart of Düsseldorf’s vibrant new business center “Medienhafen”. One can conveniently reach the airport in 15 minutes and the train station in 10 minutes.

Sascha Schmidt, an experienced talent partner from our Zurich office has taken the lead on this new challenge. He will be supported by Igor Skender, talent partner in Zurich, and others in building our new team and presence. We are, however, actively looking for new talent partners to augment our German team.

We will be having a house warming party on November 9th for IPs and a client event in spring of next year, and we look forward to welcoming you!
