Valtus, the worldwide leader in executive interim management, acquires Switzerland’s FS Partners, completing full DACH coverage with its tenth European subsidiary
Valtus, the worldwide leader in executive interim management, has expanded its European footprint by acquiring FS Partners, Switzerland’s leading boutique in financial interim management.
Present in nearly 30 countries across four continents, the Group now has 10 subsidiaries in Europe, reinforcing its position as the only international leader with comprehensive coverage in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, a market valued at more than €3 billion annually.
Covering the DACH region and expanding services
Already established in Germany and Austria, Valtus is now completing its presence across all three DACH countries with its entry into Switzerland. This strengthens the Group’s ability to deliver seamless, cross-border support in one of Europe’s most dynamic economic regions.
Germany is the EU’s leading industrial economy, Switzerland hosts the European headquarters of many global groups in finance, pharmaceuticals and technology, and Austria acts as a bridge to Central and Eastern Europe. Together, the three markets represent a GDP of more than €5 trillion.
For companies undergoing restructuring, digital transformation or cross-border integration, this region increasingly functions as a single market. “Our clients operate across Switzerland, Germany and Austria as one business region. By welcoming FS Partners into the Group, we ensure seamless support throughout the region,” said Björn Henriksson, CEO of Valtus.
With FS Partners, Valtus will also extend the services available in Switzerland, providing the Group’s full global offering: executive interim management; restructuring and financial advisory; PMO and consulting services; and functional specialists. All will be delivered to the same quality standards that Valtus applies worldwide and across the DACH region.
Philippe Soullier, Founder and Chairman of Valtus
“I am proud to have built a company that has become the European leader in executive interim management and is now accelerating towards global leadership. Since initiating the globalisation of Valtus in 2002, achieving full coverage of the DACH region has been one of my ambitions. Joining forces with FS Partners therefore marks a significant milestone in this journey: completing our platform in the DACH region and further strengthening our ability to support clients worldwide in their most critical transformations.”
Olivier, Partner, Valtus UK
“Completing our DACH platform matters for UK clients. Many of the organisations we support operate across Switzerland, Germany and Austria. FS Partners brings a highly respected finance capability in Switzerland and a shared commitment to measurable outcomes. Together we can mobilise cross-border interim leadership with greater pace and consistency.”

“Valtus shares our values of quality, responsibility and impact. Together, we combine the precision of a Swiss boutique with the international reach of the global leader. For our clients, this means continuity, plus access to expertise in 30 countries, stronger presence in French-speaking Switzerland, and a broader network of top executives beyond finance.”
