Location & Scaling Consulting for
Engineering Teams
Scaling is not a goal. It is a system.
You want to scale your engineering team – in Berlin, Munich, Eastern Europe, Greece, or completely remotely. But scaling without structure leads to wasted time, inefficient hires, and growing complexity.
We will design a scalable engineering organization with you, featuring a clear location strategy, fast hiring processes, and functional leadership structures – from zero to operational delivery.
Growth Needs Structure – Not Just Headcount
The wrong location choice costs time, focus, and millions. Mis-hires slow down your time-to-market. Remote teams without leadership tear holes in your culture.
Scaling becomes a strength when structure precedes volume. We ensure your engineering growth takes hold:
- Location strategy & selection (onshore, nearshore, remote – data-driven & growth-ready)
- Building local presence (incl. incorporation, legal, infrastructure)
- Recruiting architecture (sourcing, interviews, speed, cultural fit)
- Team structure & management spans (role-based, scalable, transparent)
- Retention & onboarding systems (standardized and impactful from day one)

We make site setup a controlled process – with results:
