Strategy Consulting

At Demkovitz Consulting, we deliver at the intersection of strategy and execution. We are business architects and builders.

Our Philosophy

The reason for our existence is to help businesses, of all sizes, define a strategy that works for them and help with implementing the change. We do this by combining strategic and rigorous management frameworks and adapting them to clients' individual circumstances: sectors, internal talent, financial situations, technology etc. We are proud in our operating experience which helps us bridge the gap between executives and management and ensuring effective implementation plan of the ideas. We know how it feels to implement new growth projects, educate team members about data, configure digital tools, create an organisational culture and manage redundancies.

This allows us to operate at the intersection of strategy and execution for your business. We are both architects and builders. Through working with you, whether you are a PE/VC fund investor, owner and founder, or CEO, we will support you in building the company that grows in a profitable manner and with a healthy organisational culture.
