We develop, finance & realize growth.

Gradus Proximus Corporate Advisory GmbH, based in Vienna, is a management consulting firm specializing in strategic advisory, investment projects, and sustainable corporate development.

Founded by Dr. Christoph Ulmer and Mag. Thomas Zach, the firm combines decades of experience in business, finance, and public administration. This combination provides a unique dual perspective: a deep understanding of international markets and of public-sector structures and regulation.

Our team is complemented by a strong network of experts across Europe, the USA, Southern Africa, and Southeast Asia. We combine local market knowledge with a global perspective to develop tailored strategies that create clear competitive advantages for our clients.

Tangible customer benefits

Our objective is not only to advise, but to deliver measurable and sustainable results. Many companies have untapped potential – whether in market expansion, process optimization, or access to capital. We help unlock and utilize these opportunities.

Gradus Proximus supports clients in analysis, strategy development, and execution – pragmatic and results-oriented. Outcomes include increased revenues, more efficient structures, and improved access to investors and capital providers.

Strategy

A clear strategy is the foundation for long-term success. Our approach combines analytical rigor, practical experience, and agile management. We support companies in developing and implementing growth strategies, preparing transactions, and entering new markets.

We integrate financing and M&A expertise with modern transformation consulting. Our roadmaps help organizations future-proof structures, develop new business areas, and implement change efficiently.

Whether expansion, restructuring, or internationalization – we guide our clients through complex processes with focus and discipline.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a key factor for long-term business success.

The European Union has established clear regulatory frameworks that offer both opportunities and challenges. Gradus Proximus supports companies, projects, and investors in positioning themselves effectively in this environment.

We advise initiatives in recycling, circular economy, renewable energy, sustainable industrial production, and environmentally responsible urban development. Our services range from regulatory analysis to business model development and support in funding and financing.

Corporate Development

For us, corporate development means translating vision into concrete, actionable steps. We support companies in designing growth strategies, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and international market entry.

Our extensive network of investors, financing partners, and decision-makers enables us to structure transactions effectively and connect companies with the right partners.

We assist in building sales organizations, management structures, and financing architectures. This creates sustainable solutions that deliver long-term value.
