Like his predecessor Tauber, he works in BCG's Munich office.

In his new role, Brigl will be responsible for the BCG business in Austria, Poland, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Hungary in addition to Germany.
After studying business administration in Regensburg, Brigl started his career in the consulting division of the auditing company PwC in London.
