Core offering

Mawenzi Partners provides strategy and organization consulting services to large French corporations (CAC 40), mid-sized companies (ETIs), and scale-ups. The firm delivers engagements across strategic vision co-construction, business model redesign, sales performance and customer relationship optimization, organizational transformation, data-driven decision support, and innovation facilitation, integrating societal responsibility through its proprietary Sustainway methodology.

Product overview

Mawenzi Partners is a strategy and organization consulting firm that operates as a single integrated consulting service rather than a platform with separate modules. The firm offers six core consulting service lines—Vision stratégique, Evolution des business models, Performance des ventes et relation client, Transformation des organisations, Data Lab, and Innovation Lab—supplemented by the Sustainway methodology acquired in 2021. Together, these services help CAC 40 companies, ETIs, and scale-ups conceive and execute new growth models that create value while integrating societal responsibility. The Data Lab provides analytical expertise, while the Innovation Lab facilitates creative concept development, and Sustainway enables societal strategy integration.

• McKinsey & Company: World's largest strategy consulting firm with deep relationships across CAC 40 companies and French government. Sets the benchmark for strategy consulting pricing and talent; Mawenzi explicitly competes against this incumbent positioning.
• Boston Consulting Group (BCG): Global strategy consulting leader with strong Paris presence serving French large-cap and public-sector clients, including on transformation, sustainability, and innovation topics that overlap Mawenzi's service lines.

• Eight Advisory: French-headquartered advisory firm specializing in transaction services and financial advisory to mid-cap and large French corporates. Comparable French boutique competitor with similar ETI and CAC 40 client overlap.

• Oliver Wyman: Global management consulting firm with a major Paris office (where partner Pierre Boy de la Tour spent 11 years) serving financial services, automotive, and other sectors Mawenzi targets. Closely comparable on service mix and CAC 40/ETI client base.
• Roland Berger: European-headquartered strategy consulting firm with strong presence in Paris and across France, serving large corporates on strategy, transformation, and restructuring. Most direct comparable in scale and target market to Mawenzi Partners.
• Kea & Partners: French-origin strategy and transformation consulting firm focused on large French corporates, explicitly positioned in the same challenger boutique niche as Mawenzi Partners with similar mid-cap and CAC 40 clientele.
• Sia Partners: Paris-origin management consulting firm offering strategy, transformation, and data/AI services to financial services and other French sectors. Comparable boutique-to-mid-tier positioning with overlapping service lines including Data capabilities.
