Peers Group

What Peers Group does

PeersGroup is a Paris-headquartered management consulting firm founded in 2012 that operates under a 'Strategy to Execution' (Advice to Run) model, combining strategic advisory (PeersAdvisory) with hands-on operational execution (PeersOperations) across three core functions: Procurement, Supply Chain, and Finance. The firm serves large French enterprises (including CAC 40 names such as LVMH, L'Oréal, Société Générale, Thales, Renault, Stellantis, BNP Paribas, and Carrefour), mid-market ETIs, public sector entities, private equity portfolio companies, and startups, with 250 consultants and offices in Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Fribourg (Switzerland). Sub-brands include PeersTechnology (digital transformation methodology with an MVP approach for mid-market), PeersAcademy (Qualiopi-certified internal training), and TheDataLab (data and AI entity created in 2025 from the Gioza acquisition). In October 2024, the firm received its first institutional investment from NextStage AM and BNP Paribas Développement, and in October 2025 it acquired Hutisa (industrial performance) and Gioza (AI energy optimization SaaS), positioning itself as a consolidator in the French consulting market with an explicit ambition to double in size by 2028. The business model is predominantly project-based professional services (billed per engagement) across consulting, operational support, and technology implementation, with a nascent subscription/recurring revenue line introduced through the DataLab SaaS offering; go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to C-level and functional leadership (CPO, CFO, COO) with no channel reseller or marketplace distribution.
