History
Booz & Company is the oldest continually existing management consultancy in the world and we founded the whole profession when we were the first to use the term “management consultant.”
We have been involved in some of the most celebrated business episodes of their day. The dawn of the contract system for Hollywood movies, the merger of the National and American football leagues, the rescue of the Chrysler corporation from bankruptcy, and the creation of Deutsche Telekom from government agencies that had grown up on both sides of the Iron Curtain all involved Booz assignments.
In 1914, our founder, Edwin Booz, began conducting business research and solving problems for clients near his native Chicago. For nearly a century, we have helped our clients realise the essential advantage needed to survive, thrive, and win. In 2008, we separated our operations from our U.S. Government consulting business, which retains the name Booz Allen Hamilton. We continue our work with businesses, governments, and organisations around the world, now under the name Booz & Company.
