Munich – November 10, 2026 -- AdEx Partners and Vienna-based CONSULTING AG are combining forces to form a consultancy of about 350 employees across the DACH region, adding public-sector and healthcare expertise to AdEx's portfolio.
CONSULTING AG brings about 50 staff and a public-sector focus to AdEx Partners
Founded in 1992, CONSULTING AG is an Austrian management consultancy specializing in the public sector and healthcare. It employs about 50 people and has long-standing client relationships. AdEx Partners combines strategy, technology-based transformation and AI in its offering.
Stefan Rieder, Managing Partner at AdEx Partners, said the combination will make both firms top players in their Austrian market segment and deliver a clear jump in revenue and headcount. The announcement gave no revenue figures or deal terms.
Stefan Lutz becomes chairman of the CONSULTING AG management board
Lutz, also a Managing Partner at AdEx Partners, takes the board chair. Markus Krempl-Spörk, Katrin Simoni Grigorians and Sebastian Zutz assume additional responsibility on the board. Former board members Robert König and Hans-Jörg Steffl stay on as Senior Advisors.
For CONSULTING AG clients, ongoing projects and contact persons remain unchanged.
Modernization pressure and regulation drive demand for end-to-end transformation support
Lutz said public-sector and healthcare organizations face high modernization pressure and regulatory requirements while remaining responsible for reliable operations. The combined firm intends to support clients from strategic direction through implementation of complex transformation and reorganization projects.
Krempl-Spörk said CONSULTING AG aims to retain its industry expertise and client proximity while expanding its advisory offering and growing from its own strength.
