Mars & Co.

Mars & Co is a unique global force in the Strategy Consulting industry – yet keeps a low profile: • Small enough to be personal, yet serving many of the world's largest corporations; • Providing clients with deep expertise, extremely valuable insights and actionable advice, yet only serving one client in any given industry on a long-term exclusive basis; • Composed of ~ 250 highly skilled consultants, yet our consultants are generalists and not pigeon-holed into practice groups. They work across a variety of industries and business functions which allow them to understand businesses holistically. From our 7 offices in North America, Europe and Asia we continue to expand our roster of prestigious clients and train some of the finest minds in the consulting industry. At Mars & Co, consultants immediately get the opportunity to help provide high impact strategic and operational assistance to an elite group of mainly Fortune 100-sized companies while working with some of the best senior executives in the industry. Mars & Co was founded in 1979 by Dominique Mars, then a Director of The Boston Consulting Group. He resigned from the Board of BCG for a simple reason: he felt it was essential for a strategy consulting firm to guarantee the exclusivity of its services to each client, thus limiting itself to a select number of them. Because he couldn't steer his then-partners in such a direction, Dominique Mars founded Mars & Co. Since its inception, Mars & Co's goals have never changed. Its major "raison d'être"​ has remained to bring competitive leverage to a very limited number of clients and serve them worldwide on an exclusive basis - the only consulting firm of any consequence to guarantee "fidelity"​. Mars & Co has an atmosphere where professionalism, individual initiative, creativity and analytical rigor are all highly prized and well rewarded in the pursuit of making our clients the most successful firms in their industries
