Dr. Robert Macmillan Koch
Koch Consulting is the advisory practice of Dr. Robert Macmillan Koch — an independent, London-based consultancy serving companies that grow across borders.
Robert Macmillan Koch is an international businessman and adviser based in London. For more than three decades he has built, invested in and advised companies operating across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas.
Dr. Koch is a graduate of the University of Munich, where he earned a master’s degree in the Department of Sciences. He began his career as a broker and went on to hold shares and directorships in several successful international enterprises — giving him a first-hand understanding of what it takes to build businesses in unfamiliar markets.
That operating experience is the foundation of Koch Consulting. Clients do not receive theoretical reports; they receive judgement formed by someone who has negotiated, invested and operated internationally for over thirty years.
“I have spent my life doing business across borders — building partnerships in places where I first had to earn trust, and learning that every market rewards patience, respect and preparation. That experience, more than any theory, is what I offer my clients.”
Born and raised in Switzerland and educated in France and Germany, Dr. Koch combines a truly European outlook with a global network of partners and operators. He advises a deliberately small number of clients at any one time, ensuring that each mandate receives his personal attention.
Koch Consulting accepts a limited number of new mandates each year. All enquiries are treated in strict confidence.
