The new office, led by an experienced local team, strengthens the consultancy’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region and supports clients across multiple sectors with expertise in strategy, transactions, and value creation. The move aligns with Roland Berger’s broader growth plan and follows the successful introduction of its Transaction and Investor Services offering in Australia earlier this year.

(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH / SYDNEY, 3-Nov-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Roland Berger, the global management consultancy, has officially opened its first Australian office in Sydney, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s international growth strategy. With this expansion, the company now operates across all six continents, reinforcing its presence in over 50 offices worldwide and strengthening its reach in the dynamic Asia-Pacific market.

The Sydney office, which opened on 1 November 2025, is led by a senior local team of seasoned consultants who bring extensive experience in the Australian market. The team’s expertise spans growth strategy, commercial due diligence, transaction support, and value creation, catering to corporate and financial clients across industries such as retail, healthcare, financial services, technology, industrials, and infrastructure.

“Australia is a key pillar of our global growth strategy,” said Stefan Schaible, Global Managing Partner at Roland Berger. “With our new presence in Sydney, we are expanding our footprint in the Asia-Pacific region and reinforcing our ability to support clients in one of the world’s most dynamic and resilient economies. This step enables us to combine global insight with local expertise to help businesses drive sustainable growth and transformation.”

The Australian consulting market ranks among the world’s most mature, known for its economic stability and demand for high-quality strategic advisory services. Roland Berger aims to address this demand by combining its AI-driven analytical capabilities with deep sectoral expertise, offering customized solutions to complex business challenges. The firm’s integrated international network also positions it to serve both Australian-headquartered companies and multinational clients operating in the region.

Earlier in 2025, Roland Berger introduced its Transaction and Investor Services offering in Australia, which has already generated substantial interest. This service reflects the firm’s growing reputation as a trusted strategy advisor offering localized expertise and globally integrated methodologies that deliver measurable results.

Ronan Gilhawley, Partner at Roland Berger’s Sydney office, noted: “Our client engagement in Australia to date confirms that companies value international perspective coupled with practical local insight. With our dedicated team on the ground, we can now offer tailored solutions that combine both – and create lasting results for our clients.”

By establishing a strong local presence, Roland Berger aims to become a strategic partner to Australian businesses navigating challenges driven by rapid technological, environmental, and competitive shifts. The firm’s new Sydney office will serve as a hub for innovation, transformation, and sustainable growth, connecting local talent with global expertise.
