Our Timeline

The early years

Founded in 1996 in Stamford, CT, USA by Mr. Heikki K. Helenius, HKH Management Consulting Ltd. specialized in serving Direct-to-Consumer businesses, offering expert advisory services for a wide range of strategic and operational challenges. The company relocated its main office to Helsinki, Finland towards the end of the decade, where it remained until 2012. Under the leadership of Mr. Helenius, who served at the helm until 2011, the firm leveraged his extensive experience spanning over 30 years in various senior and executive roles, particularly within the FMCG and publishing industries on a global scale.

Before founding HKH Management Consulting, Mr. Helenius held significant roles at major global companies such as Unilever and Reader’s Digest, as well as at International Masters Publishers. His dedication to promoting Finnish business interests in North America was demonstrated through his active participation in key organizations. He was a board member of the Finnish-American Chamber of Commerce in New York and a trustee for the American-Scandinavian Foundation, further enriching his contributions to the industry.

Today and onwards

Over the past decade+, HKH Management Consulting has transformed and grown into an agile boutique-styled management consultancy practice with partner level management consultants, serving predominantly SME-sized clients through four practice areas: 1) MarCom & Sales, 2) Business Design Development & Innovations, 3) Strategic Planning & Business Transformation, and 4) Corporate & Business Financial Planning (CBFP) and M&A, while embracing a “virtual office” model across 15 locations worldwide, including the Americas, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Asia, and Oceania. This strategic shift enables a more dynamic and flexible approach to meeting diverse client needs. Additionally, through our collaboration with a network of boutique consultancy firms known as Global Consultancy Partners (GCP) and our agile web of Affiliate Partners, we further strengthen our global presence and capability to deliver comprehensive solutions across various regions.

Moving forward, we envision a future where our development is significantly propelled by the adoption of a “virtual model” and a networked approach. This forward-looking strategy is designed to harness the power of digital transformation and global connectivity to redefine the management consultancy landscape. By fully embracing our operating model across key global regions, we aim to ensure unparalleled flexibility and responsiveness to client needs.

Our commitment to a networked approach, particularly through our collaboration with Global Consultancy Partners (GCP), is set to further enhance the capability to deliver bespoke, innovative solutions that cater to the dynamic demands of SME businesses across industry verticals. This synergy between virtual efficiency and collaborative expertise is poised to drive our growth, enabling us to navigate the complexities of the global market with agility and precision. As the management consultancy landscape evolves, HKH Management Consulting is strategically positioned to lead with a visionary model, setting new standards for excellence and adaptability in the industry.

As HKH Management Consulting has continued to expand beyond its American-Finnish origins, we steadfastly honor our transatlantic heritage, embodying the unique blend of values and perspectives that this background provides. Our growth trajectory is fueled by an enduring curiosity and a keen insight into the ever-evolving dynamics of the business world. This foundational ethos not only shapes our approach to global boutique management consultancy but also ensures that HKH remains at the forefront of innovative and adaptive solutions, true to our roots while navigating the future landscape of management consulting.
