PARIS & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kurt Salmon has solidified its position as a leading global management and strategy consultancy through the recently completed merger of Ineum Consulting and Kurt Salmon Associates. Kurt Salmon has over 1,600 consultants with offices throughout the world. In May 2010, both companies decided to merge and, since then, have collaborated on numerous client projects and achieved significant synergies through the combination. As the trusted advisor to industry leaders around the world, Kurt Salmon delivers measureable results through unparalleled specialization and executional excellence.

By joining workforces, corporate heritages, and capabilities, the new Kurt Salmon firm is a unique global player with a proven track record in business strategy development, process enhancement, business transformation, and information systems.

Today, we are in a position to promote our values across five continents and numerous industries. This new firm, an expert in transformation, is decisively entrepreneurial and is the right size to position itself beyond the role of a simple consultant to be considered more as a trusting advisor, passionate about our clients' businesses," affirms Chiheb Mahjoub, president and CEO of Kurt Salmon.

In characterizing the new firm Mark Wietecha, Chairman, states: "In merging, we have recognized our need for larger global scale and investment capability to better serve our clients. At the same time, our unique proposition continues to be one of industry specialization. Our large and vertically organized industry practices in the consumer and retail sector and in the financial services sector are clear global leaders in bringing our clients dedicated specialty services. The concept of industry specialization continues to be one of our most unique competitive advantages, and one we aim to extend into those sectors requiring globally organized consulting."

"The new Kurt Salmon combines Ineum's geographic footprint and functional expertise with Kurt Salmon Associates' domain expertise. We now have a more powerful message to communicate to the US and global marketplace and an increased ability to deliver great services to great clients," said John Karonis, Managing Director of Kurt Salmon, United States.

Kurt Salmon operates in offices throughout the world including Algeria, Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Morocco, Shanghai, Switzerland, Tunisia, United Kingdom and the United States. Kurt Salmon's clients have access to specialized teams across all major markets, either by industry (retail and consumer products, financial services, communication and media, healthcare, energy and utilities), or by functional competency (operations management, CIO advisory, strategy/transactions, financial management, etc.).
