some testimonials
"Working with accelerando has been a terrific experience. Philip and his team offer world class expertise and an impressive level of depth. They provided us with very thought- and helpful insights and guidance."
Chief Operating Officer
U.S. Asset Manager
August 2019
"accelerando delivered a very thoughtful assessment of our European business. I was impressed about their “intellectual honesty”, not afraid of highlighting improvement areas, as well as their clear and practical feedback in terms of distribution focus points and client service model. On top of that, working with Philip is a real pleasure."
Head of European Sales
European Asset Manager
November 2020
" The strategic and tactical knowledge that the team displayed at accelerando shone through like a beacon of light. They immediately understood our business constraints. However, it was their recommendations once they 'got into the weeds' that really impressed me. Philip and the team probably know they are 'best in class' but their manner and approach got a huge amount more from our team which led to a suitably in depth report. It is more than likely that most of their recommendations will be put in place."

" accelerando offers a level of flexibility, customisation and insight unseen in the herd of plain vanilla providers. A true best in class intelligence provider."
Head of Market Intelligence
French Asset Manager
February 2017
"accelerando offers you a 360° degree in depth view of the European market, highlighting main strategic topics, future trends and potential pitfalls. What impressed me is that the team is not afraid to pinpoint improvements for your own organisation. The exchanges with the team were insightful, the work is of very high quality and the team gave us many ideas to think about and to put them in potential action plans."
