What MAET (Advisory & Digital Learning Solutions) does

MAET Consulting SASU is a Paris-based, founder-led advisory and digital learning company founded in 2021 by Gilles Chevillon that delivers corporate training and consulting services focused on cybersecurity, financial crime compliance, and regulatory risk management. Its core product is an AI-powered eLearning platform built on Thinkific's Learning Management System, offering bilingual (French/English) courses covering cybersecurity essentials, anti-money laundering, anti-bribery and corruption, sanctions awareness, corporate fraud, crisis management, and specialized EU regulatory frameworks (DORA, NIS2, CER Directive), with jurisdiction-specific modules for Vietnam and Morocco. The platform incorporates gamification (points, badges, trivia), collaborative social-network-style learning, micro-learning video capsules, and mobile-responsive delivery, and is Qualiopi-certified as a French training organization.

MAET generates revenue through three streams: quote-based corporate training subscriptions sold via direct enterprise field sales with multi-year contracts and admin dashboards, individual course self-enrollment through the online platform with installment payment and a 7-day money-back guarantee, and management consulting services covering governance, risk, compliance, organizational performance, and data and analytics. Customer segments span large enterprises (Allianz Global Investors, Banque Palatine, Marriott, Mutualité Française), mid-market firms (CoCreativ, Parashop), educational institutions (IHES, CESI, Webforce3), and individual professionals across financial services, retail, hospitality, fintech, and nonprofit sectors. Geographic focus is primarily France, with emerging training content for Vietnam and Morocco.

Operationally, MAET is a privately held single-shareholder SASU with no external institutional funding, registered capital of €50,000, and a small team (1-10 employees) led by a founder with 20 years of leadership experience at major international financial institutions. The company maintains memberships in the French EdTech Association, Cybersecurity Advisors Network (CyAN), and French Federation of Cybersecurity (FFCyber), and received the International Compliance Association's 2024 Cyber Risk Initiative of the Year award. Distribution leverages OPCO skills funding eligibility for French enterprises alongside direct enterprise sales and self-serve online channels.
