Pergamon

What Pergamon does

Pergamon Consulting Services SARL is a Paris-based, founder-owned public affairs and strategic communication consulting firm, established in 2017 by Charles de Froment and operating from 30 boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement. The firm is structured as a SARL with €5,000 of capital and a team of approximately ten professionals, and offers three core service lines — Public Affairs (Affaires publiques), Corporate & Executive Communication, and Social & Internal Communication — delivered across five sector specialisations, with Healthcare (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, medico-social) as the primary vertical, followed by HR/Work Platforms & Training, Energy/Climate/Environment, Retail, and Transport & Logistics.

Its business model is a classic professional services engagement model: fees are negotiated per project, teams are curated to each mission, and clients are introduced to every consultant working on their account. Customer logos include large-cap enterprises such as Amgen, AstraZeneca, Novartis, MSD, Boehringer Ingelheim, Medtronic, BASF, Saint-Gobain, RTE, FnacDarty and Randstad, alongside industry associations (LEEM, API, UMIH) and growth-stage companies (Sakowin, Staffme, Stuart, WeTechCare, Gouach, Nostrum Care). Go-to-market is relationship-led enterprise consulting, supported by sustained thought-leadership output including tribunes in Les Echos, Le Monde, Le Figaro and Libération, and recurring publications for the Institut Montaigne and Institut de l'Entreprise think tanks.

The firm has no proprietary technology or AI/ML capability; its differentiation rests on a documented methodology (Investigation, Reason, Writing, Curiosity), deep sector expertise, and the personal involvement of senior consultants in delivery. Governance is concentrated, with Charles de Froment as Founder & CEO, Jean-Philippe Alosi (ex-Amgen France) as Associate Director since August 2023, and Geoffroy Daignes as Director of Consulting. The firm is GDPR-compliant, operates only in France, and shows no evidence of external funding, M&A activity, parent company, or international expansion.
