Bretteville Consulting

What Bretteville Consulting does

Bretteville Consulting is an independent, founder-led management consulting firm founded in 2013 by Damien Gourio and headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. The firm operates as a pure-player specialist in the financial services sector, organized around three industry verticals — Banking (Corporate & Investment Banking, Retail Banking, Payments & Cash Management, Asset Management and Securities Services), Insurance (Life, Health, P&C, mutual), and FinTech (neobanks, PayTech, CrediTech, InsurTech, RegTech) — and delivers its work through dedicated service lines covering Project Management, Organisation & Governance, Compliance/Risk & Control, Innovation & Blockchain, Performance Improvement, Customer Experience, Quantitative Engineering, and Financial Risks Management. Methodologies span Lean Six Sigma, Agile, BPM and project management frameworks, with Quantitative Engineering additionally using machine learning and deep learning for valuation, BI and risk optimization.

The firm employs 11-50 consultants and operates from five offices across Europe (Neuilly-sur-Seine, Luxembourg), Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore) and North America (New York), allowing it to deliver cross-border transformation, regulatory and innovation programs for enterprise financial-services clients. Its go-to-market is direct, partner-led enterprise consulting sold via RFPs and relationship development; engagements are project-based or time-and-materials with negotiated fees and multi-year cadences typical of management consulting. Bretteville positions itself as independent from Big 4 accounting firms and as a collaborating firm of Andersen Consulting.

The business model is professional services revenue tied to consultant billable capacity. The firm has no disclosed parent company, no disclosed institutional investors, and no publicly disclosed revenue. It has invested in ESG/Sustainable Finance capabilities (SFDR, European Taxonomy, Article 29-LEC) and holds EcoVadis Gold, Great Place To Work, UN Global Compact and Charte de la Diversité certifications, supporting enterprise credibility and ESG-themed client engagements. Distribution relies on direct enterprise sales supplemented by thought leadership (publications, newsletter, LinkedIn) and brand visibility initiatives such as 49er sailing team sponsorship.
