BrazilCIL adds Patric Kirchner to partner team in Germany
International strategy consultancy firm CIL has appointed Patric Kirchner as a partner in its Munich office, strengthening its pricing capabilities.
Patric Kirchner brings over 20 years of pricing and commercial expertise to CIL Management Consultants, a UK-headquartered company with offices across Europe and the United States. “I am excited to join CIL and help drive its pricing, commercial excellence and value creation services forward,” said Kirchner.
The move marks a return to consulting for Kirchner, who previously held roles at Accenture, PwC, and Simon-Kucher with a strong focus on pricing and commercial excellence. Over the past three years, he served as Global Head of Pricing at Boehringer Ingelheim, a manufacturer of pharmaceutical products.
“Having spent the last three years implementing the pricing centre of excellence and developing pricing strategies in a corporate organisation, I am looking forward to applying this real-life experience to CIL’s client challenges and offering practical, tailored recommendations that drive real results.”
“Without a doubt, 2025 will be a year of change, whether due to tariffs, political instability or cost increases. Businesses will need to adapt quickly, balancing the customer’s willingness to pay with sustainable growth and margins. Success will depend on stable, robust processes and commercial capabilities that enable businesses to respond confidently to market shifts. This is where CIL’s pricing and commercial services with proven market focus can make a real difference.”
Commenting on the senior hire in its German business, which launched in 2021, managing partner Jon Whiteman said: “We are delighted to welcome Patric to CIL. His blend of consultancy and in-house experience is a valuable addition to the team.”
Founded in 1986, CIL works with management teams and investors on four topics: strategy consulting, mergers & acquisition (due diligence), commercial excellence and pricing, and value creation. The consulting firm is B Corp certified.
