Founded in London in 1986, CIL Strategy Consultants is an international multi-award winning growth strategy specialist. We have extensive experience helping businesses and investors identify and prioritise the best opportunities for growth. Our approach is rigorous and practical — grounded in deep sub-sector knowledge, careful analysis, and a commitment to translating data into clear, actionable insight. From corporate strategy and M&A due diligence to pricing and advanced analytics, we cut through complexity to help our clients move forward with certainty. With offices in London, Frome, Paris, Munich, Chicago and New York, we combine the reach of a global firm with the focus and expertise of a specialist boutique.

We are a team of sector specialists, data scientists and strategy consultants united by a shared belief: that the best decisions are grounded in evidence and shaped by genuine commercial understanding. Although we work in structured project teams, we are socially very equal, lively and inclusive — our culture is the product of our people. We approach every client challenge with passion and energy, conducting exhaustive and tailored analysis guided by deep industry expertise. We are proud to be a certified B Corporation, reflecting our dedication to making a positive impact on society and the environment.

We specialise in strategy consulting, M&A support, value creation, pricing and commercial excellence, and data and analytics. Our work ranges from helping businesses identify and prioritise growth opportunities, to supporting investors through every stage of the deal cycle — from commercial due diligence to post-acquisition value creation. We translate analytics into actionable insights that power smarter decisions. Every engagement is tailored to our clients' growth goals and grounded in commercial insight.

Our purpose is to help organisations see what matters, think ahead, and set clear priorities that lead to confident decisions and strategies built to deliver results. For nearly forty years, we have been helping businesses uncover growth opportunities and craft value creation strategies that drive long-term success.

Our values of excellence, integrity and supportiveness are at the heart of everything we do. Combined with our comprehensive industry expertise, these values position us to provide the best support to our clients.
