Strengthening Our Core: H&Z Expands Expertise in Financial Services
We’re excited to announce a major step in expanding our market presence and capabilities: The H&Z Group is welcoming Oliver Wehrkamp and his seasoned Financial Services team, effective April 1st, 2025. With this strategic move, we’re reinforcing our position as a leading European management consultancy.
A Trusted Team with Proven Impact
Oliver Wehrkamp, Associate Partner, and his team bring a wealth of experience from leadership roles at major banks, private banking institutions, and strategy consultancies. Their core focus? The COO and CIO domains across banks, insurers, and financial service providers.
Joining Oliver are Sönke Mehrtens, Philip Gibson, Maximilian Kempf, and Yannick Elfen—a cohesive and high-performing team known for their pragmatic, hands-on approach and consistent track record of successful project delivery. Together, they will strengthen and expand H&Z’s Financial Services capabilities, helping us address the pressing needs of our clients with even greater precision and insight.
Michael Santo, Managing Partner at H&Z, puts it best:
“With Oliver Wehrkamp and his team, we’re not just gaining outstanding expertise—we’re combining our proven strengths with deep market access and tailored solutions. This complementary setup allows us to better serve our clients and deliver transformative impact.”
A Unique Combination of Strategy, Delivery, and Partnership
This addition enhances our core capabilities in procurement, cost and performance improvement, as well as digital and IT transformation. The focus remains on what matters most: our clients—their strategic priorities, unique challenges, and long-term success.
Working side by side with our clients, the Financial Services team designs and delivers practical, future-ready solutions. This isn’t just consulting—it’s a true partnership built on trust, eye-level collaboration, and a relentless commitment to implementation.
