Experienced international consultants by your side
From diverse backgrounds, deployable alone or as a team on your most demanding challenges.
01 Our difference
Experience to the power of AI
A rich, international career, and a command of AI. The more AI speeds up production, the more judgement makes the difference.
-
Cross-pollination
Our consultants move across sectors, functions and countries. The best answers often come from a sector other than yours: they transpose them with care.
-
AI-accelerated ramp-up
AI shortens learning curves. Our consultants get to grips with your context fast, and keep their energy for judgement, decisions and execution.
02 The profiles
The profiles you can mobilise
Seasoned consultants with at least five years’ experience in consulting or in industry, deployable alone or as a team, in clearly defined roles.
Chief of staff
Alongside a CEO or a director
For a defined period (a launch, a reorganisation, a growth phase, a transition), an experienced right hand alongside the leader: structuring the agenda, holding priorities, preparing decisions and moving cross-functional matters forward.
-
Experienced consultants
Diagnosis, framing and recommendations, then implementation alongside you, organisation and governance included.
-
Project managers & project directors
Complex programmes end to end: planning, budget, trade-offs, project governance, all the way to adoption.
-
Interim managers
Interim leadership (CxO, business unit or function head) to get through a turning point or secure a key period, with a takeover and a handover that go smoothly.
-
Operations directors & managers
Supply chain, processes, team organisation: day-to-day performance, where gains are measured.
-
Senior product managers
Tech, data and AI products, from vision to production, at the pace of tech.
-
Change management consultants
Specialists in adopting tech, data and AI tools: training, engaging and embedding new ways of working.
What does AZEKA talent look like?
Whatever the role, the portrait comes down to a few traits.
- Track record
- Major consulting firms, corporate leadership, tech start-ups, sometimes all three; often a top international MBA. Realities seen from the inside.
- Business & tech
- Well-rounded minds, often engineers by training: at ease with tech, and always able to talk business.
- A head for numbers
- P&L, CAPEX, OPEX, growth: every AZEKA talent measures the impact of their choices on costs and results.
- Field presence
- As comfortable in the boardroom as alongside your teams, where transformations are actually won.
- AI
- Advanced daily users: AI as a working copilot, not a sales pitch.
- Mindset
- Straight, reliable, demanding, bold enough to leave the beaten track. At ease in matrix organisations, independent by choice, committed to results.
One thread unites them: a constant appetite for challenge, as their track records show. They want you to win.
03 Our model
The end of the pyramid
Traditional consulting bills a pyramid: a rare partner at the top, many juniors learning on your budget. Instead, for each engagement, AZEKA brings together hand-picked, complementary experts who work as one team around your challenge.
Pyramid firm
The partner far from the field, juniors on the front line.
The AZEKA model
Complementary experts around your challenge, one mission lead accountable for the result.
