Verkor Consulting is a premier European industrial advisory firm based in the DACH region and France. Founded by Eric Olivier and Viktor Klein, we bridge the gap between strategic ambition and operational reality for energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure companies.
Industrial organizations face mounting pressures: geopolitical dynamics, energy transformation and environmental sustainability. This leads to increasing market volatility, complex supply chain disruptions, and the urgent need for sustainable performance. The rapid pace of digitalization and the complexities of post-merger integrations require more than just high-level advice.
To survive and grow, industrial organizations need agility to respond to market shifts, operational excellence to protect and grow margins, and pragmatic access to innovation, modernizing facilities and processes without disrupting core business continuity.
Verkor Consulting’s proprietary Integrated Advisory Model combines corporate strategy, hands-on operational execution, and technology integration into a single, cohesive approach. We don’t just design the strategic roadmap; our senior partners work on-site to implement it, ensuring measurable ROI across every engagement.
Designing Sustainable Growth — Strategic & operational diagnostics, business development roadmaps, portfolio rationalisation, M&A support, and international expansion.
Making Strategy Happen — Interim management, organisational transformation, complex project leadership, KPI governance, and post-merger integration.
Innovation That Delivers Results — Technology audits, maturity assessments, integration roadmaps, innovation ecosystems, and targeted technology scouting.
We work at the core of asset-heavy organizations to transform products and services into high-value, integrated offerings. By bridging traditional heavy industry with modern innovation ecosystems, we deliver sustainable operational execution. Our objective is a long-term, trust-based partnership that delivers tangible financial outcomes, not just reports.

Maximum portfolio value managed by our founding partner in global service organisations.

What sets Verkor Consulting apart from traditional management consulting firms is our exclusive reliance on senior-level operational credibility. Our partners bring decades of hands-on execution experience across France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, backed by an extensive industrial network.
We don’t limit ourselves to recommendations. Verkor Consulting also leads the implementation of strategies through interim management, change management, and project steering.

Eric Olivier - Founder of Verkor Consulting
Verkor Consulting follows a flexible, results-oriented engagement model designed around your specific industrial challenges—from rapid operational diagnostics to multi-year transformation programs.
We begin every engagement with an in-depth conversation to understand your strategic context, operational challenges, and transformation objectives.
Based on our initial assessment, we design a bespoke engagement proposal with clear scope, methodology, and expected outcomes.
We establish transparent milestones and deliverables so you can track progress and measure impact at every stage.
Our consultants work embedded within your organisation, on-site, alongside your teams, to drive implementation, not just advise from a distance.
Every engagement is designed to deliver quantifiable results: cost reduction, revenue growth, operational efficiency, or successful integration.
Whether you are navigating a complex strategic pivot, executing a cross-border post-merger integration (PMI), or accelerating AI and robotics adoption—our senior industrial consultants are ready to work alongside your leadership team.
Verkor Consulting’s Integrated Advisory Model is a proprietary framework that bridges the gap between strategic ambition and operational reality. Unlike traditional consulting firms that separate strategy from execution, our model unifies three inseparable pillars: Strategy & Business Development, Operational Execution, and Innovation & Technology. This ensures that every strategic recommendation is operationally viable and technologically forward-looking.
Verkor Consulting specializes in complex, asset-heavy sectors including Energy, Manufacturing, Industrial Services, and Infrastructure. Our senior partners bring decades of hands-on leadership experience from these specific industries, allowing us to understand the unique regulatory, operational, and technological challenges our clients face across France, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria (the DACH region).
Traditional management consulting firms often deliver high-level strategy without the operational expertise to implement it. Verkor Consulting is led exclusively by senior operations leaders who have managed P&Ls, led post-merger integrations, and driven digital transformations from the inside. We don’t just deliver slide decks; we partner with your teams on the ground to ensure measurable, sustainable results.
Our post-merger integration (PMI) services focus on rapid value creation and operational continuity. We guide industrial organizations through the entire lifecycle: from pre-deal operational due diligence to day-one readiness, cultural alignment, IT systems integration, and supply chain consolidation. Our goal is to minimize disruption while accelerating the realization of deal synergies.
Through our Innovation & Technology pillar, we help industrial companies move beyond pilot purgatory. We assess your current operational maturity, identify high-ROI use cases for automation, robotics, and AI, and design pragmatic deployment roadmaps. We focus on connecting industrial reality with innovative potential, ensuring that new technologies actually improve margins and performance rather than just adding complexity.
Verkor Consulting follows a flexible, results-oriented engagement model tailored to your specific challenges. We typically begin with a rapid diagnostic phase to clarify strategic direction and identify immediate operational bottlenecks. From there, we structure a transformation program where our senior partners work directly alongside your leadership teams to execute the strategy and strengthen long-term economic and environmental performance.
