Emerton Data

What Emerton Data does

Emerton Data is the AI & Tech unit of Emerton Group, providing bespoke data and AI consulting services to large enterprises and government entities across financial services/insurance, manufacturing, energy and environment, agtech and food, consumer goods/retail/luxury, telecommunications, and private equity. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Paris with offices in London, Munich, New York, and Hong Kong, the firm helps clients accelerate end-to-end data transformation journeys, from strategy definition through implementation of AI solutions and bespoke data product development. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with project-by-project engagements that leverage synergies with sister firm Emerton Strategy for cross-sell into existing client relationships.

The service portfolio spans eight offerings: Data-Driven Pricing, Data for Customer Centricity, Data/AI for Operational Excellence & Supply Chain, Data Platform, Digital and AI Due Diligence, Generative AI, Data for Sustainability, and Agentic AI/Digital & Data Strategy. Underlying technology stack includes machine learning, deep learning, generative AI tooling (Stable Diffusion XL, ControlNet, Dreambooth, fine-tuning), statistical analysis, supply chain digital twins, and cloud-agnostic data platforms with custom encryption schemes. The firm has developed proprietary IP, notably X-SHAP, a model-agnostic method for multiplicative explainability of ML predictions, along with documented R&D output including white papers on generative AI adoption, healthcare data sharing, model risk, and AI for industry.

Revenue is generated through professional services/consulting engagements priced at project-level rates not publicly disclosed. The company is wholly owned by Emerton Group with only 20,000 euros of registered capital, indicating a boutique specialist practice structure rather than an independently capitalized scale player. Senior leadership includes Managing Partner Aimé Lachapelle (ex-Principal & Director of Data Science at Capgemini Invent; PhD Applied Mathematics, Paris-Dauphine; postdoc at Princeton), partners from PSP Investments, Ekimetrics, BCG, Bain, and Mars & Co, and an Associate Partner previously Chief Data Scientist at AXA France. Named clients include top-tier international food and CPG groups, national and international insurers, a sovereign energy services provider, a national government's digital platforms department, and a leading B2B optical fiber network provider.
