As part of the operation, Ali Cumber, Paul Mumma and Jon Meyerholz, who currently lead Kaiser Associates, will join Sia as Partners. Jon Meyerholz will head the newly formed business line, taking on the role of Managing Partner.
“Kaiser Associates’ strategic and analytical DNA aligns seamlessly with Sia’s longstanding capabilities in strategy and management consulting, further reinforcing Sia’s position as a global advisory leader,” said Matthieu Courtecuisse, CEO of Sia. “This acquisition represents a significant step forward, broadening Sia’s North American presence and reinforcing our value proposition for global private equity clients.”
“We found in Sia the same data-driven foundations that have guided us since our founding. We share the same work ethos centered on speed, flexibility, and responsiveness—qualities that give us a competitive edge in a highly dynamic market dominated by substantially larger firms,” added Jon Meyerholz, Partner at Kaiser Associates. “Joining Sia is a unique opportunity for us to gain access to a larger integrated platform, integrating AI into our services, to significantly expand our geographic coverage, and to transform ourselves into a comprehensive one-stop-shop offering.”
