Along with Gareth and our management team, we will continue to realize Roland Berger's regional and global growth strategy, deliver exceptional client service, and grow our team of currently more than 300 consulting professionals. I also want to thank Robert Henske for his mentorship and leadership, and for all he has done to drive Roland Berger USA to its current successful position and to build a foundation for continued success."
Keese, who joined Roland Berger in 2001, heads the firm's Automotive and Industrials practices in the Americas. He has advised leading global players on growth and market entry strategies, sales and distribution strategies, cost reduction and restructuring in those industries. In addition, he is an expert on the Latin American automotive industry, having led Roland Berger's Latin American Automotive practice in Brazil for six years.
