Hub Consulting

What Hub Consulting does

HUB Consulting (legal entity HUB Communication SAS, registered in Paris under RCS 423 945 906) is a Paris-headquartered boutique management consultancy specializing in executive coaching, leadership development, organizational cultural change, and candidate assessment. The firm is built around 11 partner coaches who previously held senior executive, team-leadership, and change-agent roles in large corporations, and operates without institutional capital, subsidiaries, or regional offices. Service delivery is multilingual—English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese—and is executed through a distributed partner-coach network reaching clients in more than 20 countries across Europe, the Americas, Oceania, Asia, Central America, and Africa.

The firm's offering is organized around five core service lines: Leadership Development (hybrid programs built on nine mindsets—Strategize, Motivate, Decide, Innovate, Empower, Collaborate, Rejuvenate, Transform, Start), Cultural Change (tailor-made systemic transformation programs), Individual Coaching (executive and manager coaching), Collective Coaching (team coaching, co-development, intercultural mediation, remote-work motivation, conflict and crisis management, including somatic coaching and an organizational modeling technique), and Candidate Assessment (Hogan-Assessments-based, with customized business cases and structured interviews for hiring and promotion). The proprietary "Excellence with Love" methodology anchors the brand and is reinforced by registered trademarks (HUB Consulting, HUB Communication) and a published body of thought leadership ("Leadership Capsules" blog).

The business model is professional-services-only: project-based, quote-priced engagements sold primarily via direct enterprise field sales and supplemented by referrals from an ecosystem of executive-education institutions (HEC Paris, Polytechnique Executive Education, Audencia, Institut Repère, Share Coach) and communication/events agencies (Crise Experts, Customer Delight, La Fonderie, Ligne 42, PMC, S'Cape Events). The customer base is heavily enterprise-weighted, with named logos spanning L'Oréal, BNP Paribas, AXA, Sanofi, Renault, EDF, Total New Energies, Orange, Safran, Dassault Systèmes, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, Accor, RATP, SNCF Gares & Connexions, Natixis, CSL Behring, HEC Paris, and Polytechnique Executive Education across luxury, finance, pharma, industrial, consumer, infrastructure, and executive-education verticals.
