Kurt Blecha personally leads every Chicago Partners mandate, combining nearly three decades of consulting experience with direct, independent and practical advice.
University of Chicago Booth School of Business, London campus
PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT — I lead the mandate myself and remain directly accessible throughout.
CLARITY BEFORE ACTIVITY — I focus first on the real challenge and the few priorities that matter.
CONSTRUCTIVE CHALLENGE — Good advice is not always comfortable. I aim to be direct, fair and useful.
PRACTICAL EXECUTION — A recommendation has value only if the organisation can act on it.
No single adviser has every relevant capability, and clients should not pay for a permanent organisation they do not need. Depending on the mandate, Chicago Partners works with selected independent specialists, industry executives, academics, lawyers, technology experts and transaction professionals across Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Each team is assembled specifically for the client's situation. Kurt Blecha remains personally responsible for the overall mandate and the quality of the work.
This model also removes a familiar conflict of interest: there is no bench to keep busy and no revenue target to meet. The scope of an engagement follows the problem — never the other way round. The only incentive is the outcome.
“Clients should know who is doing the work, who is accountable and who will be there when the difficult decisions have to be made.”
