Our focus is on supporting companies at critical moments—whether through strategic realignments, operational challenges, or interim leadership.
- Over 20 years of professional experience: Each of our partners brings extensive expertise from diverse industries and roles. This deep knowledge enables us to comprehensively analyze complex business challenges and develop solution-focused strategies.
- Experience in consulting and management: We have worked both in international consulting firms and in leadership positions within companies.

THE IDEA BEHIND FRONT.LOOP
Why the name FrontLoop.Partners?
The FrontLoop – a forward somersault – is one of the most demanding maneuvers in windsurfing, kitesurfing, snowboarding, or freestyle motocross. It’s a daring leap where, for a moment, everything is upside down. But those who commit with courage, determination, and the right momentum are rewarded – with a powerful leap forward.
This is exactly where we see parallels to many of our projects. In challenging phases – especially during transformation – everything can feel upside down. The key to success is to see it through to the end. Because a half-finished post-merger integration or an incomplete process redesign often leads to worse outcomes than the original setup. In short: push through!
And of course, there’s a personal connection as well: As passionate water and winter sports enthusiasts, we wanted a name that also reflects who we are as people.
