Quint Wellington Redwood

Established in 1992 and headquartered in Amstelveen, Netherlands, Quint Wellington Redwood operates as an independent management consulting firm with a strong focus on IT-related organizational challenges. The company was founded by five individuals who left their consulting roles at Pink Elephant after it was acquired, seeking to maintain their independence; the name "Quint" is Latin for five. One of the early key figures, Hans Van Herwaarden, initially hired the firm as a CIO for his own data center project and was so impressed that he joined them in 1994 to help grow the company. The firm has since expanded its global footprint, operating in numerous countries across four continents. In June 2018, Quint merged with Paphos Group, a technology-centric firm with expertise in platforms like ServiceNow and AppDynamics, to create an entity with over 300 consultants. Subsequently, Quint was acquired by Eraneos.
