What Alkemy does
Alkemy Group S.p.A. – Società Benefit is a Milan-headquartered digital transformation consultancy founded in 2012 and listed on the STAR segment of Borsa Italiana (ticker: ALK). The company serves 1,000+ enterprise clients across Italy, Spain, Serbia, and Mexico with end-to-end transformation services spanning growth and commercial strategy, customer lifecycle optimization, data strategy, AI and predictive analytics, digital platforms (CRM, eCommerce, CX), system integration, and cloud-native architecture. Its service portfolio is structured around three operating pillars: ALKEMY DATA. TECH. AI. (core data/tech/AI transformation), ALKEMY RETAIL TECH (retail vertical specialization), and ALKEMY+ / Alkemy Nova (creative and content capabilities). The company augments services with productized offerings such as Power SEA Suite (launched October 2023), an advertising technology platform with behavioral-data targeting and privacy-compliant reporting.
Alkemy operates as a holding company over multiple wholly-owned Italian subsidiaries (Alkemy S.p.A., Alkemy Play S.r.l., Cosmic S.r.l., D.com S.r.l., Digital Retex S.r.l., WTL S.r.l., XCC S.r.l.) and the Spanish entity INNOCV Solutions SL, acquired in July 2022 for €5 million to anchor its Iberian regional headquarters in Madrid. Earlier acquisitions include Seolab (2013) and Ontwice Interactive Services SL (2018), evidencing a sustained buy-and-build consolidation strategy. The company's GTM is enterprise field sales with regional offices (Milan HQ, Rome, Madrid as Spain regional HQ, Mexico City for LATAM, Belgrade for Eastern European delivery), selling directly to multinational brands through project-based consulting engagements and retainers under a quote-based, scope-tailored pricing model. Headcount is reported in the 501-1,000 range, and leadership comprises CEO Duccio Vitali, President Riccardo Lorenzini, and Gabriele Pozzi as Managing Director of Alkemy Nova. Disclosed revenue series (despite apparent formatting anomalies) suggests a 2024 revenue base in the ~$119M range following growth from ~$90M in 2020, with EBITDA turning negative in 2024 after positive years 2020-2023.
