Kearney is an American global management consulting firm with offices in more than 40 countries worldwide.[1] Kearney's predecessor firm was founded in Chicago by James O. McKinsey in 1926; he hired Andrew Thomas "Tom" Kearney as his first partner in 1929. After James McKinsey died in 1937, the Chicago office split into its own company, led by Tom Kearney and called McKinsey, A.T. Kearney, and Company. In 1947, it was renamed A.T. Kearney and Company.[2]

In January 2020, the firm underwent a major rebranding and changed its name from A.T. Kearney to Kearney.[3]
