Hermann Simon is the founder and honorary chairman of the global management consultancy Simon Kucher und Partner based in Bonn. Since the early 1990s he has been dealing with small and medium-sized companies – especially those who are market leaders in a certain niche – and which are known in specialist circles but hardly in the public.
