What Ie Team does

ieTeam (legal entity IETEAM GROUP, S.L.) is a Spain-headquartered management consulting firm founded around 2009 in the Basque Country, providing strategy, recruitment and selection, internationalization, and innovation services to enterprises seeking to expand or professionalize across borders. The firm operates a single-interlocutor delivery model through eight owned offices in Spain (Donostia-San Sebastián, Bilbao, Madrid), France (Biarritz), Brazil (São Paulo), Colombia (Bogotá), Mexico (Mexico City) and the UAE (Abu Dhabi), supplemented by a partner network spanning more than 20 countries including Portugal, Italy, Germany, Poland, the UK, Scandinavia, India and China.

The company's underlying technology stack is a portfolio of proprietary platforms rather than a single product: IELLOW (a digital talent marketplace and recruitment community), ie_nn (an open innovation management platform), ievolution (a strategic plan execution and visualization tool) and MODULAR (a modular strategic analysis tool), plus an AI-assisted layer that connects local talent platforms for selection process management. ieTeam has no disclosed APIs, SDKs, or patents, and these platforms function primarily as delivery and client-engagement tools for its consulting services. ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications support an integrated management system policy.

ieTeam generates revenue through fee-based, bespoke consulting engagements across its four service lines, sold primarily via enterprise field sales coordinated through regional offices. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per engagement. The customer base is concentrated in mid-to-large European and Latin American enterprises (Coca-Cola, Siemens Gamesa, Talgo, Leroy Merlin, CAF, Orona, Campofrío, Santalucía), supplemented by public-sector and SME work delivered through partnerships such as ICEX's Global Open Innovation program. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds.
