History

Andrew Thomas Kearney started this firm in Chicago in 1926, and maintained a major consulting presence in the "Windy City" for 35 years until establishing an additional location in the USA in 1961. Our first branch office outside of the USA was opened in Europe in 1964.

A.T. Kearney now has 55 offices in 35 countries around the globe, and has been providing high value strategy consulting services while creating exciting, long-term relationships for 80 years.

Tom Kearney was a public-spirited man - a man leaving the world a better place than he found it. And his way of doing that was to be courageous, intellectually honest, and objective - to tell clients what they needed to hear for their own best interest, even if is was uncomfortable.

We are intellectually rigorous. We provide honest insight. And we deliver these things in a collaborative and collegial manner, while at the same time remaining sensitive to the needs of the client and the client's unique environment. By keeping people and ideas at the forefront of what we do, we rigorously and powerfully imagine the conditions driving our clients' future. And ours in the process
