SparkOptimus is a management consulting firm with a focus on digital strategy and digital transformation with offices in Amsterdam, Dusseldorf and Zurich.[1]

History

SparkOptimus was founded in 2010 by Alexandra Jankovich and Tom Voskes,[2] two former McKinsey & Company employees.

In 2014, SparkOptimus was listed in the Top 5 of best Strategy Consultants of the Netherlands.[3] SparkOptimus has been named the number 1 digital strategy consultancy of the Netherlands by Emerce five times, most recently in 2022.[4][5][6] In 2017, the NextWomenTop100, published by Elsevier (magazine), listed SparkOptimus co-founder Alexandra Jankovich as one of the 100 most successful female entrepreneurs in the Netherlands.[7]

The firm published their first book, Make Disruption Work in 2018, which became a business bestseller in the Netherlands.[8] In 2020, managing partner Tom Voskes was a co-author of the MITSloan book 7 Key Principles to Govern Digital Initiatives.[9] In 2022, Jankovich and Voskes co-authored the book Disruption in Action with Adrian Hornsby.[10] which argues that transformation is 80% people and only 20% tech, and that the goal is always to make things better for customers.[11]

In response to the refugee crisis after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the firm helped develop the Refugee Help initiative.[12]
