Porsche Consulting now in Silicon Valley / New office with direct access to major innovation networks (FOTO)

Stuttgart / Silicon Valley (ots) -

Porsche Consulting has opened a new office in Belmont, California.
The most innovative IT and technology companies are their neighbors
in Silicon Valley. Detlev von Platen, Member of the Porsche AG
Executive Board for Sales and Marketing, emphasized the significance
of the new site for the company. "We need more visionaries, more 'out
of the box' thinking, especially if we want to drive innovations
forward," he noted. "And what better place to enact this necessary
vision than the Silicon Valley? To have the consultants directly
on-site offers the best conditions for this."

Belmont is the ninth office that Porsche Consulting has opened
since its inception in 1994. It is located next to Volkswagen's
Electronics Research Laboratory. "Contact with colleagues from our
own corporate group is just as valuable as with Silicon Valley's many
other expert and courageous individuals who are working with enormous
energy and matchless spirit to shape the world of the future," said
Eberhard Weiblen, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche
Consulting GmbH. He expects the Belmont office to bring together the
best ideas from a wide range of fields and give Porsche Consulting
clients around the world direct access to major innovation networks.
New mobility, high-performance enterprise, and business
transformation are Porsche Consulting's main areas of concentration.

The company established its North America presence in 2011 with a
subsidiary in Atlanta. Dr. Norman Firchau is the founding President
and CEO of Porsche Consulting, Inc., USA, which currently has 46
employees. "We have quickly developed a good reputation with our
management consulting services here too," said Firchau. "The new
office in Belmont enables us to take the next step and offer even
greater proximity and expertise to clients in this large and diverse
country." Clients originate primarily from the automotive, aviation,
and aerospace industries, as well as the industrial and consumer
goods sectors. The Belmont office is led by Doug Reinart, an
experienced industry executive and consulting partner. The total
number of employees at Porsche Consulting, Inc., USA is expected to
reach about 60 through 2019.

consultancies, and employs more than 550 people worldwide. It is a
subsidiary of the Stuttgart headquartered sports-car maker Porsche
