GRAPH is a boutique strategy consultancy built around a single objective: to deliver superb evidence-based advice to help our clients acquire and build stronger businesses. Our clients are top-tier Private Equity firms, Corporate Development, M&A and Strategy leaders from the largest and greatest global corporations.

GRAPH was founded in 2017 by two consulting industry veterans who together have more than 30 years’ experience in M&A advisory work - and the firm has grown rapidly since. GRAPH employs best-practice methods to develop and pressure test investment theses, and help clients build, deploy and oversee effective value generation plans.

Consultants at GRAPH are typically promoted from the Associate role with a proven two- to three-year track record, or pulled from other top-tier strategy consulting firms with a similar base of experience.
