GIA Announces New GIA Member in Russia

Global Intelligence Alliance (GIA), a global strategic market intelligence and advisory group, has announced that ALT Research and Consulting Company (ALT), a management and strategic consulting company with offices in Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia, has joined the GIA Member network, bringing the total to 23 GIA member locations.

Formed in 1992, ALT provides clients such as SUEK AG, Norilsky Nikel, Irkut, United Heavy Machinery, AsstrA Associated Traffic AG, Sibur, Volvo Penta International, BrokInvestService as well as United Panel Group, with a range of services; including strategy development, market analysis, M&A assistance, organizational structure optimization and market entry strategies for Russia.

“We believe good consulting companies bring something new to clients in their search for success in management. Hence, ALT is one of rare Russian consulting firms that regularly conducts research of modern management methods and best practices of Russian and international business. In addition to our advisory work for clients, we also hold annual conferences that have become a platform for testing new ideas and exchanging successful experiences in management. We see a lot of synergies with GIA. Both our organizations focus on excellence in providing solutions based on local expertise and ensuring their feasibility by client coaching and collaboration, where necessary. Very few companies combine these service aspects for clients, and I am glad to say that we do,” said Alexander Pechersky, ALT`s managing partner.

Hans Hedin, GIA’s Network Coordinator commented, “ALT’s inclusion in the GIA networking comes at an opportune time, as the Russian economy is predicted to perform better than expected in 2010 and grow by more than the projected 1.6 percent, according to Russia’s national budget announcements. Our international clients are constantly exploring emerging or previously untapped markets, particularly as we come out of the 2008/09 crisis, and we look forward to adding ALT’s expertise on Russia to our client offering.”
