A.T. Kearney has per the 1st of July promoted four advisors to Partner level in Germany and Austria: Patrick Brown, Astrid Latzel, Horst-Henrik Dringenberg and Alenka Triplat.
Patrick Brown (36) has been with A.T. Kearney since 2014, when he joined from Roland Berger, where he worked for six years, latterly as a Senior Project Manager. Prior to that, he worked for Capgemini Consulting and a mining firm. At A.T.

Astrid Latzel (40) has been serving the consulting firm since April 2015, re-joining A.T. Kearney thirteen years after she left the management consultancy back in 2002, when she worked as a Senior Business Analyst in the firm’s Berlin office. Between 2002 and 2006 she served Schering (now Bayer) as a Consultant, Latzel then spent nearly ten years in the consulting industry: two years with Oliver Wyman and seven years with Roland Berger. She advises clients predominantly in the mechanical engineering and processes industries.
Horst-Henrik Dringenberg (36) has been at A.T. Kearney for more than 10 years – he joined as an intern in 2004 and has grown steadily through the firm’s ranks. He is a member of the Organization & Transformation service line, and focuses specifically on Europe, Middle East and Africa-based clients in the Energy & Process industries.
