About Marakon

Since our founding in 1978, we have partnered with companies of all shapes and sizes to help them fundamentally increase and realize their potential to create value. Hundreds of companies from around the world have adopted our approach to helping them improve their business models and management practices. One measure of our success if the long-standing relationships we have with world-renowned companies.

Today we are focused on helping companies adapt to the new economic reality that will emerge from the current crisis: consumer attitudes and behaviors are undergoing a generational reset, which will ultimately affect all industries; higher volatility will be a way of life for some time to come; and industries’ returns relative to their costs of capital are reverting to a lower level. The challenge to create value and the need for business model and management innovation is greater than ever.

Our advice has always stemmed from a singular point of view – that companies should be managed to create the most long-term value possible for their owners. We use value-based management to bring ideas, objectivity and experience to help executives answer the highest value questions and improve the quality of decision making.

Marakon has never found that industry solutions and armies of consultants are the best way to have a big impact. The keys to helping business leaders unlock value are customized ideas, constructive challenge and committed partners who roll up their sleeves to help clients get things done.

From New York, London and Chicago we serve clients across the Americas, UK, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. We are active in our local communities and contribute to a range of charitable and non-profit organizations.
