Dr. Matthias Schlemmer

About

I am a Partner at Strategy& Austria based in Vienna and member of our European Retail and Consumer practice, working at the intersection of Business strategy and Technology. With more than 15 years of joint consulting and industry experience, I have strong expertise in helping clients and teams achieve their goals. Backed by own leadership experience in the industry and the involved knowledge about the daily tasks of working in a line organization, I am passionate about collaborating with my clients and helping them succeed. Content-wise, I am deep into topics of Digitization and Data Analytics, and how these buzzwords become real and true differentiators for specific business challenges. I am focusing on Operating Model (re-)design, Business and IT strategy, striving to combine this with my long-term interest of developing people -leveraging on my additional educations in Business Coaching and Philosophical Practice. Whenever time allows it, I love spending time with my family in nature, especially in the mountains.
