OC&C Strategy Consultants

Founded in London in 1987, OC&C Strategy Consultants is an independent, strategy-focused management consultancy. It now operates internationally with 900+ people across 15 global offices.

OC&C advises senior executives, companies and private-equity investors on corporate and business-unit strategy, growth, pricing, customer and commercial topics, advanced analytics, M&A and transaction support. Its private-equity work covers investment scoping, buy- and sell-side commercial due diligence, value-creation planning and post-acquisition strategy.

The firm is especially strong in consumer goods, retail, leisure, media and technology, alongside B2B and services businesses. For students, its clearest differentiator is depth in consumer-facing sectors and private equity rather than broad operational implementation: teams are expected to turn detailed market and customer analysis into practical strategic recommendations.
