What RHconseil does

RH Conseil SA is a Geneva-based human resources consulting firm organized as a Swiss Société Anonyme (S.A.), founded around 2002 and headquartered at Route du Grand-Lancy 6A, 1227 Les Acacias, Geneva. The firm operates as a boutique advisory practice led by two partners: Christian Oberson, an associate since 2007 with a psychology background from the University of Geneva, a master's in non-verbal communication and emotion management, and prior director experience at Firmenich and Credit Suisse; and Sophie Dubuis, an MBA from HEC Genève who joined as a partner in February 2020 with prior director roles at Bucherer Geneva, Palexpo, and CICG. The firm employs 1-10 people and serves clients across the Geneva and broader French-speaking Switzerland (Romandy) region.

The firm delivers six professional consulting service lines on a project or retainer basis: Change Management (Conduite du changement), Recruitment (Recrutement), Management Development, Business Strategy and Organizational Evolution, Individual Coaching, and Social Partnership. There is no technology product, software platform, or proprietary tooling; the value proposition is built entirely on the senior partners' expertise, methodology, and relationships. The firm targets three horizontal client segments - startups, SMEs, and large enterprises - addressing needs such as organizational change, talent acquisition, management development, and executive coaching. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

RH Conseil SA's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with no product-led motion, no self-serve channel, and no paid marketing infrastructure. The firm generates top-of-funnel awareness through regular thought-leadership content, including a recurring filmed podcast series on Radio Lac (Bien au travail), television appearances on LémanBleu (3D Eco), a website blog, and an active LinkedIn company page. Distribution is direct consulting engagements, primarily within the Geneva region. The firm has no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue; ownership and control are concentrated between the two partner-owners.
