About
A small firm, on purpose.
Solvique was started by four operators who had spent long enough on the client side to know what good advice is worth, and how rarely it arrives in a form anyone can act on.
We do not sell capacity. We sell the ability to finish something.
Large firms are built to deploy people. That model works when the problem is a shortage of hands. Most of the problems we are called into are not that. They are structural: work that crosses too many teams, decisions that nobody owns, and reporting that describes the past.
So we stayed small on purpose. Every engagement has a partner in it from the first week to the last, our teams rarely exceed four people, and we turn down work we cannot staff properly. It costs us revenue and it is the reason our clients come back.
We measure ourselves on one thing: whether the change was still running a year after we left. That is a harder number to hit than a satisfaction score, and it is the only one worth publishing.

The partners
The people who will actually be in the room.
Mara Okonjo
Founding Partner
Mara spent twelve years rebuilding operations for industrial groups before starting Solvique. She works best in the messy middle of a transformation.
Daniel Reiss
Partner, Strategy
Daniel leads our strategy practice. He is unreasonably fond of one-page plans and allergic to decks nobody reads.
Ines Castellar
Partner, Commercial
Ines has rebuilt commercial engines across software, logistics and healthcare. She measures her work in booked revenue, not slides.
Tobias Lindqvist
Principal, Data
Tobias builds the decision systems behind our engagements. He believes most reporting problems are actually definition problems.
2016
Four founders leave industry roles and take the first engagement, a supply-chain reset for a Nordic manufacturer.
2019
The Berlin office opens. Operating model work overtakes pure strategy as the majority of our revenue.
2022
We publish our first benefit-tracking commitment: a share of every programme fee tied to the number we agreed to move.
2026
Twenty-four people, nine countries, and a ninety-day check-in on every engagement we have ever closed.
