The advantages of a partnership are mutual:
- win new contracts

About konsultori
“What I particularly like about Konsultori is the clear positioning: what do we stand for, who do we work with, what can we do and deliver? Clients know where they stand, what they can expect and what they will get. I believe that the impressive development and success of Konsultori over the last 10 years is a direct result of this transparent, clear and smart positioning.”
Michael Kubiena
Konsultori partner
