About Latitude 47 Advisors

Latitude 47 Advisors is not a traditional management consultancy, not an implementation partner and not an intermediary. The firm was founded on July 1st, 2026 (registered on February 9th, 2026), to advise where standardized models, isolated risk perspectives and project-driven approaches reach their limits. We operate at the intersection of risk, insurance and capital - where decisions have long-term consequences and responsibility cannot be delegated.

Latitude 47 Advisors works with boards, owners and executive teams facing complex decision-making in regulated and high-stakes environments, particularly across financial services, insurance and investment contexts.

We support our clients as an independent sparring partner, working in close co-creation with those who carry responsibility to sharpen judgment and structure complex decisions. There are no predefined methods, no dependency on follow-on projects and no interests in products or solutions. Our advisory is about creating clarity - not prolonging complexity.

Engagements are selective and discreet, consistently oriented toward jointly owned decisions, decision quality and long-term value.

Our mission

Guide corporates, captives, (re-) insurers and brokers to better performance, governance and efficiency in risk, insurance and capital management through co-created precise analyses and strategic decision support.

 

Our vision

Recognized as a trusted independent boutique advisory for risk, insurance and capital across the DACH region and Europe.

We focus on decisions that support long-term resilience, performance and governance.

Advisory is not about answers. 
It is about better decisions.

Latitude 47 Advisors was founded to create a different form of advisory — one focused on judgment, responsibility and long-term perspective rather than projects or products.

The founder brings extensive experience across financial services, insurance and governance-related environments, working closely with boards, owners and executive leadership teams in complex international settings. 

Latitude 47 Advisors was built on the belief that many strategic and risk-related decisions require independent perspective, structured challenge and trusted sparring — not standardized consulting models or outsourced responsibility.

The role today is that of an independent sparring partner, supporting complex decisions through clarity, structure and critical dialogue. 

Founder

Advisory is not about having the answers. It is about enabling better decisions.
