January 13, 2019
Reporting to Matt Austen, Co-Head of EMEA Financial Services practice, he will focus on growing the practice and strengthening client relationships across the region. Hoelzer joined Oliver Wyman in 1998 and has extensive experience in the Financial Services sector, advising leading financial institutions on strategic topics across risk and finance, risk measurement and management as well as operational optimization and effectiveness.
Hoelzer says: “The economic environment Oliver Wyman operates in continues to evolve as new risks emerge and risk management priorities need to change accordingly. Most importantly, the rise of the digital age has a huge impact in the way financial service firms do their business and interact with their customers. My role will enable me to work closely with our clients to help navigate these risks and drive innovation, crucial to unlocking success ahead of an uncertain but exciting period of business activity on an EMEA-wide level.”
Austen says: “Klaus brings a wealth of experience to this role. Over the past two decades he has built long-term relationships with several of our core clients across the region and helped numerous banks to transform their business. I have every confidence that Klaus will continue to build Oliver Wyman’s franchise as leading advisors on finance and risk matters.”
