MMG and METIS join forces

ZURICH, FRANKFURT, February 22, 2022 - MMG Management Consulting, the specialized management consulting boutique for Financial Services, Digitalization and Strategic Sourcing and METIS Management Consulting, which serves its Capital Market clients in the areas of IT & Business Alignment, IT Strategy and Program Management announce their affiliation to become the leading Capital Markets Consulting boutique in the DACH region.

The emergence of new technologies and new asset classes has led to the rise of Fintech and other start-ups offering various products and services across the capital markets value chain. In addition, the increasing acceptance of digital assets, in general, and crypto currencies has led to a wave of collaborations to facilitate trade and post-trade services for the new digital asset classes.

This has impacted capital markets with many functions being challenged - if not disrupted - by these technical advancements, often led by rather non-traditional start-ups and Fintech. In addition, regulators have put digital assets and respective services at the top of their agenda, proposing legislation for a more transparent and regulated digital asset market, signaling a more permanent place in the financial sector.

To address the evolving industry needs and establish a comprehensive view of the future market, MMG Management Consulting and METIS Management Consulting have entered a strategic and associated partnership to provide end-to-end consulting services across the entire value chain. This cooperation combines complementary competencies in the areas of Capital Markets (Pre-Trading, Trading, Clearing, Settlement & Custody, Regulation), Information Technology IT-Strategy, IT-Management, IT-Sourcing, IT-Regulation) Program Management (Execution, Distressed Project Recovery, Auditing).

“We are very excited to have established this partnership with METIS Management Consulting” said Ali Mahmoodian, Head of Banking and Capital Markets at MMG. “The extended pool of industry & functional experts allows us to jointly address the vast market opportunities in the DACH region. In addition, with METIS, we get access to the vibrant and innovative German market, not only with our consulting services but also with our newly announced and highly regarded digital asset platform darwn.” said Mahmoodian.

“We are very delighted to be associated with MMG Management Consulting and are looking forward to a mutually fruitful cooperation for the best of our clients. It is our joint goal to leverage and expand our intellectual capital and with our combined forces to enhance service offerings and delivery capabilities.” said Andreas Bornemann, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at METIS Management Consulting.
