Roland Berger. Roland Berger in its past financial year defied a tricky global management consulting market to join the $1 billion revenue club, described as the best in its 60-year history, with the Asia Pacific a primary growth-driver after being up by almost 20 percent. The firm said its growth was also derived from projects integrating AI solutions, digitising processes, and optimising supply chains. "Trust and independence have become real differentiators in consulting," said global managing partner Stefan Schaible, who has been continuously re-elected since 2014. "2025 was the most successful year in our history, but at the same time we see the market changing noticeably. As the only global strategy consultancy with European roots, this is a clear competitive advantage for us."
