OC&C Strategy Consultants appoints Jan Sauerbrey as Managing Director of Analytics

OC&C Strategy Consultants, a global strategy consulting firm, has promoted Düsseldorf-based Jan Sauerbrey to Managing Director of Analytics, a newly established senior leadership role.

Will Hayllar, Global Managing Partner of OC&C Strategy Consultants, said that the creation of the Managing Director of Analytics role reflects the firm’s belief that advanced analytics – including artificial intelligence – have become a core component of strategic advisory and transactions work.

“Advanced analytics and AI only create value when they change the decisions leaders make,” said Sauerbrey. “Our focus is on turning sophisticated analysis into clear strategic choices that drive measurable commercial impact. In my new role, I will steward and further develop our analytics capability to ensure it continues to deliver the excellent outcomes our clients know us for,” said.

Sauerbrey has been with OC&C Strategy Consultants since September 2024, joining the firm as part of a significant team expansion in Germany. Since his arrival, he has played a central role in shaping the firm’s analytics capability both in Germany and globally.

In his client work, Sauerbrey advises organisations across multiple sectors, with a particular focus on retail and consumer markets. He specialises in growth and strategic transformation – underpinned by advanced analytics and AI.

“Jan brings analytical depth and strategic judgement to complex, high-stakes questions, consistently turning sophisticated analysis into clear choices and measurable commercial outcomes,” said OC&C Strategy Consultants in a statement.
