The prestigious award presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., recognizes JMAN’s proficiency in delivering data consulting services to private equity funds and their portfolio companies on a global scale. Forbes’ annual list serves as a vital resource for business leaders looking to evaluate and select top management consulting firms.

The list is based on extensive national surveys of consultants (partners and directors at management consulting firms) and clients (executives) in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, as well as a global survey conducted among 9,100 consultants and clients in 31 countries across all continents. Respondents were asked which consulting firms they would recommend within 13 industries and 15 functional areas and those with the most recommendations were included in the list and awarded a five star rating. Firms in the top 10% (very frequently recommended) received 5 stars, firms between the top 10% and 40% (frequently recommended) received 4 stars, and all others on the list received 3 stars.
