ABOUT SCALEON

We work closely with you
to develop a targeted,
tailored growth strategy

Our decision to found scaleon was fueled by our passion to work in dynamic, challenging environments. We are energized by complex strategic and management issues. We work hand-in-glove with our clients to create made-to-measure solutions of the highest quality.

We do not believe in off-the-peg solutions to specific situations. Our approach is highly strategic and analytical. We work with key decision-makers in the client organization to understand concrete challenges and goals.

We are highly metric-driven. We believe that any strategy can and must be measured. Our approach spans vision and culture, strategic goals and KPIs. We understand that even the most sophisticated business case described in Excel is not sufficient. It has to be translated into measurable, easily-understood strategic goals and initiatives.

We offer a unique blend of experience as the founders of digital businesses, C-level executives and top-tier management consultants. We combine analytical and conceptual strengths with the skills needed to manage large teams and organizations.

We have a strong entrepreneurial mindset, having scaled digital models from the ground up ourselves in Germany and Europe, the Americas and APAC.

We have access to highly-skilled teams in all key disciplines such as business intelligence and analytics, marketing and brand management, product development and engineering.
