Former partners of McKinsey Russia have announced a name change. Yakov & Partners brought together more than 15 former Big Three partners.
“The new name is a nod to a long-standing tradition in strategic consulting. We have set up a single center of expertise across all industries of the Russian economy. The world is undergoing radical changes, and our country has a chance to replicate the successes it achieved in agriculture, digitalization of services and banking, in other sectors, but we must move fast,” said Yakov Sergienko, the CEO.

In terms of international experience, the company has its own global expert network and plans to actively expand, fostering cooperation with companies from the CIS and BRICS countries.
At the early stages, Yakov & Partners will focus on projects in the technology sector, banking, agriculture, retail, and extractive industries. As of August 2022, the company employs over 180 people.
“The demand for strategic consulting services is higher than ever both in Russia and globally. Our operating model will slightly differ from classic strategic consulting as we aim for a deeper integration with our clients. We will co-invest with our clients, among other things, and help Russian companies develop international ties,” concludes Yakov Sergienko.
A comprehensive brand launch campaign, including an updated website, social networks, and branding, will take several stages to complete and will be over before the end of the year.
