About
Heiner Offenbächer is an independent advisor focused on consumer and retail, platforms and B2B services.
He typically gets involved where strategic ambition is broad, priorities are unclear, the organization is not set up to deliver or results are not coming through. What initially looks like an isolated strategy, operating model or performance issue is often a combination of all three.
That is where he adds most value.
His background combines 18+ years across strategy consulting at Booz & Company, operating leadership at MediaMarktSaturn and five years of independent advisory under the hiconiQ brand.
