Hello, it's us - ATES Consulting!šŸ‘‹

Sevgi Ates and her team have been established go-to partners in systematic corporate development for around 30 years. ATES Consulting has always moved with the times. As the first remote consulting company in the DACH region, the three company units offer target group-specific consulting-as-a-service, stringently and continuously based on the successful ATES SpiritĀ® consulting system.

High-Performance Consulting as a Service

With its three units, ATES Consulting meets the highest requirements of a modern, innovative and forward-looking group of companies, both in terms of content and technological implementation. As a consulting group, we see it as our duty to offer only products and services that live up to our claim of helping all people to achieve their personal high-performance reality – for the benefit of the individual and for the best of all.ā€Æ

ATES Consulting’s Consulting-as-a-Service offering meets the needs of a wide range of target groups across all generations, from empowering Gen Z to securing and expanding economic stability and innovative strength in SMEs to maintaining the working power and mental health of managers and their teams.

All projects are based on ATES SpiritĀ®, the systemic consulting method for increasing performance energy. ATES SpiritĀ® looks at companies, teams and organizations in their structure and culture, right down to the individual. The full development of people’s resources uncovers untapped potential and releases positive energy that flows into the organization in the form of commitment, creativity and increased performance. Because people who have competence, performance energy and motivation are the key to maximum corporate success.

Our Headquarter

Our head office is located in Cologne’s Rheinauhafen, a lively, trendy district characterized by a combination of traditional buildings and modern architecture. We have remained true to this approach when furnishing our listed “ATES Tower”. Our customers love the modern Bauhaus-style furnishings, the pleasant ambience and the great view of the Rhine. Take a look inside!

Our history

Our history began in the mid-1990s as the courageous “one-woman show” of a student. A lot has happened since then – ATES Consulting is now a successful family business in the 2nd generation and on its way to becoming a globally active multiconsulting group.
