NUMA Barcelona

What NUMA Barcelona does

NUMA (NUMA SAS) is a French management and leadership training company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Paris, registered as a Société par Actions Simplifiée under SIREN 811 049 667. The company operates exclusively B2B, serving enterprise clients across French-speaking European markets (with a Barcelona-marketed site at numa.co/barcelona) including Air France, PwC, Leroy Merlin, L'Oréal, MAIF, Groupama, Doctolib, TF1, Orange, Richemont, ManoMano, Euronext, Swile, Spendesk, and Somfy. NUMA holds Qualiopi certification (registration number 11755339875) and B Corp status. The go-to-market is consultative enterprise sales, with program requests initiated via demo/catalogue download and culminating in co-constructed learning paths.

The core product surface comprises five interlocking lines: Formation/Workshops (50+ individual topics delivered in 2-hour remote or 3-hour in-person formats), Parcours/Learning Paths (multi-module programs co-designed with clients blending remote and in-person delivery), individual and collective Coaching via a 30+ coach network, tailor-made Top Management accompaniment for executives, and the Excellence Commerciale (Sales Excellence) track for commercial teams and their managers. Underpinning the catalogue is a proprietary 'ingénierie situationnelle' methodology built on a library of 500+ real-world case studies developed continuously since 2020, complemented by named frameworks including the COIN method (Context-Observations-Impact-Next Steps) for feedback, DISC behavioral profiling, and Tuckman's team development model. Programs have accumulated over 100,000 participants since 2020 and the company reports 3,000+ workshops and coaching sessions per year, with average participant ratings of 4.6–4.7/5 across major offerings.

Revenue is generated through professional services — corporate training programs, coaching engagements, and bespoke content development — priced on a quote basis per engagement rather than via disclosed tiered pricing. Distribution relies on direct enterprise sales targeting HR and L&D decision-makers, supported by a content marketing and community engine spanning a French-language blog, newsletter, podcast, webinars, FORWARD (annual HR/L&D conference), HR Morning sessions, Club Numa (HR leader community), and an annual Étude Compétences Clés derived from workshop-level data. The CEO is Anselme Jalon; Vanessa Palmer is listed as COO.
