At ALAIKA, our vision is to build the future of Financial Services with
three brands under one roof — Advisory (Strategy Consulting), Capital (Private Equity), Building (Company Builder). Right now, we are
in the midst of
building our trojan horse ALAIKA Advisory.
The ambition: building the leading Financial-Services-specific entrepreneurial holding — Fortune 500 access, PE discipline, Silicon Valley technology-depth and thinking.
Three networks that compound and multiply.
One industry.
Financial Services. Nothing else.
One focus.
The intersection of business and technology — across Strategic Transformations, AI & Data Intelligence, and Cybersecurity.
One goal.
Being the go-to partner for the world's leading Fortune 500 financial services companies — and the ones we might help build into that.
Founded
in October 2022 by
Johanna von Geyr
(build-up and led Financial Services Practice for a NASDAQ-listed strategy consultancy) and
Harald Braunstein
(serial entrepreneur with exits incl. IPO), we bring together deep functional domain expertise and networks in global Financial Services, with a proven track record in building, scaling, and investing in leading software product companies.

expertise
as your anchor .
You are the guiding thought leader for your clients’ topics before the problem is fully defined.
Own.
Own client holding groups end-to-end — the relationships, the revenue, the team, the outcomes. You do not own pieces or projects; you own accounts.

their game.
Multiply the output of everyone around you

Sell.
Own the full sales process end-to-end, independent of deal size. Open new buying
centers. Originate mandates. Turn one client into three. Your pipeline is your business — and you run it like one.
Connect.
Industry-shaping relationships. C-suite at the leading Financial Services firms. Your network walks in with you, extends with the role, and becomes the platform for everything the practice does next.
Grow.
Sharpen the rare profile the market is short on — analytical mastermind, data & AI expert, entrepreneurial dealmaker.
