SeaBird

What SeaBird does

SeaBird (legal entity SeaBird Conseil) is a Paris-based professional services firm founded in 2005 that delivers consulting, actuarial expertise, transformation advisory, and data/technology solutions to insurance companies, mutual organisations, banks, and asset managers in France. The firm operates through four service brands — SeaBird Efficience (operational consulting and transition management), SeaBird Transformation (finance function, savings and asset management, risk and compliance, human capital, and sustainable transformation), SeaBird Actuariat (actuarial reinforcement, predictive modelling, and climate risk modelling), and SeaBird Tech & Data (data analytics, data management, and AI) — supplemented by SeaBird Formations, a Qualiopi-certified training division.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-based consulting engagements, with billable services covering regulatory compliance (Solvency II, IFRS 17, DORA, AI Act, SFDR), digital and sustainable transformation, internal control, data management, and training programs. SeaBird pursues a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market, leveraging senior contacts (General Delegation Directors, Director of Development), thought leadership via its "Décryptons" publication hub and industry press (L'Argus de l'assurance, Les Echos, L'Agefi, Gestion de Fortune), and participation in industry conferences and working groups (Finance Innovation AI Act, ADOM, Lab.Transition).

The firm is privately held as a Société par actions simplifiée à associé unique (SASU), led by President Cyrille Vu with Deputy CEOs Mathilde des Courtis and Reda Tarmoussi, and has operated continuously for more than 20 years while maintaining 101–250 employees. It adopted Société à Mission governance status (publishing its third mission report in 2025) and runs an affiliated nonprofit, Fondation SeaBird Impact, reflecting a stated mission to place human potential development at the centre of an inclusive and sustainable model. Geographic footprint remains single-country (France), and no revenue, funding, or headcount figures are publicly disclosed.
