Roland Berger

Roland Berger (born November 22, 1937) is a German entrepreneur, consultant and philanthropist. He is the founder and honorary chairman of the supervisory board of the international strategy consulting firm Roland Berger Strategy Consultants which he established in Munich in 1967. He has been a close advisor of Gerhard Schröder, beginning when Schröder was the Minister-President of Lower Saxony and continuing through his tenure as Chancellor of Germany. Berger reportedly declined an offer to become Minister of Economy in 1998 when Schröder became Chancellor because he wanted to remain independent.

Berger is also the founder of the Roland Berger Foundation for Human Dignity.

Furthermore, Berger is a founding partner and chairman of London-based RiverRock European Capital Partners (formerly BLM Partners) which he established with Florian Lahnstein, Gero Wendenburg and Jason Carley. Thomas Middelhoff left the firm in November 2010. In November 2012 Michel Péretié, former CEO of the Corporate and Investment Banking Division of Société Générale until January 2012, joined RiverRock as partner and CEO.

Berger serves as a member of the Advisory Council of INSEAD, and as a member of the supervisory board of the pharmaceuticals and healthcare company Fresenius SE.

He also serves as a member of the International Advisory Council of Bocconi University
