His favorite aphorisms :The error is human; the second is less.

Our team of consultants

One of the strong assets of Akeance Consulting lies in the multiple origins of its consultants. In fact, most of our sixty consultants have a background in corporate companies prior to joining Akeance Consulting. Others started their professional lives as consultants. Finally, our civic commitment involves hiring a few beginners whom we train specifically.

No specific school diploma is over-represented on the team.

The average age is 32 years old, which, compared to the sector, shows the real seniority of the teams.

The “male / female” parity is unbalanced in favor of men. Indeed, the parity itself of the CVs received is in favor of the men.

Turnover, with an average of 10 to 15%, is positive with regard to the sector of activity.

Each person’s path to growth is unique to them, within a very open body of management rules. The spirit of individual responsibility and collegiality is strong; it reminds everyone of the pleasure and satisfaction of curiosity and mutual assistance.

Strategy, organisation and management consulting firm.

Straight to the point
