Kilian Scheuber is a principal at Oliver Wyman, based in Zurich. He is part of the Banking and Financial Services and M&A practices, working with leading banks, wealth managers, asset managers, and the broader capital markets ecosystem. His client focus is on Europe, particularly the German-speaking region, complemented by his global project experience.
Kilian's advisory work covers the full arc from strategy to execution. He develops corporate and growth strategies with his clients, shapes market entries and new propositions — from proposition design through launch — and translates strategic ambition into robust target operating models. He also supports portfolio reviews and the evaluation of strategic options for individual businesses.
His area of expertise further extends to deep transformation work: Kilian guides client teams through large-scale transformation programs and holistic organizational change — from reshaping the offering and renewing core processes to rolling out new platforms and systems. He works closely with client teams throughout to ensure smooth delivery and lasting impact.
In M&A, Kilian supports transactions across the entire deal cycle, from pre-deal advisory through commercial, vendor, and corporate due diligence to synergy assessment, integration planning, and post-merger integration. Among others, he has supported integrations of leading European wealth and asset managers and market infrastructure providers, advising both strategic investors and private equity firms.
Wealth and asset management in Europe is changing rapidly: Market participants are pursuing inorganic strategies to gain scale, new capabilities, or efficiency. Success hinges on the disciplined execution of a clear vision
Before joining Oliver Wyman, Kilian worked in transaction advisory services, where he deepened his expertise in complex deal environments. He regularly contributes his perspective and analysis on industry trends and challenges to Oliver Wyman's flagship reports.
Kilian holds an MA in strategy and international management from the University of St. Gallen, where his master's thesis examined post-acquisition integration decisions in the technology sector, and a BA in philosophy and economics from the University of Bayreuth.
Outside of work, Kilian plays tennis and rides his road bike.
