Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Paris, Advancy is a global strategy consulting firm with 280 consultants across 9 offices — Paris, London, Frankfurt, New York, Boston, São Paulo, Shanghai, Singapore, and Sydney. With more than 2,500 projects and 150 clients to our name, we work in close partnership with the C-Suite of multinational corporations on high-stakes issues spanning strategy, marketing and sales, organisational structure, and operations. Our result-driven approach is built on quantitative, fact-based analyses that yield clear recommendations and impactful action plans — because the best strategy is the one that can be implemented and measured. Clients return to us again and again not for reassurance, but for transformation.

We are a firm driven by three non-negotiable principles: excellence, technical accuracy, and pragmatic impact. Our teams combine deep sector expertise with operational precision to craft actionable strategies that deliver tangible value — not on paper, but on the bottom line. At Advancy, our partners are not supervisors; they are fully engaged and personally committed to every mission from day one to final delivery. We are agents of change, hired by leaders who refuse to accept copy-paste consulting and who know that customised, fact-driven strategy is the only kind worth pursuing. Our advice is tried, tested, and built to last — and our clients trust us to go the extra mile, every time.

Advancy partners with leading corporations across six sectors of excellence — Chemicals & Advanced Materials, Ingredients & Life Sciences, Healthcare, Industrials & Business Services, Consumer Health & Consumer Goods, and Retail, Luxury & Entertainment. Across these industries, we deploy five core skills: Strategy & Innovation, to turn complexity into competitive advantage and help leadership teams define bold, implementable strategies; Mergers & Acquisitions, covering the full deal lifecycle from buy-side due diligence to post-merger integration; Topline Growth & Commercial Efficiency, unlocking full commercial potential through pricing, go-to-market redesign, and salesforce transformation; Organisation Efficiency, reshaping operating models, governance, and ways of working so that structure becomes a source of performance rather than friction; and Turnaround & Performance, guiding companies through inflection points with rigorous diagnostics, cost optimisation, and hands-on execution. Whatever the challenge, our objective is always the same: measurable, lasting value.

Our mission is clear — to transform complexity into competitive advantage for our clients. We believe the best solutions are rarely easy or obvious, and that going the extra mile is not optional; it is the standard. By combining deep sector expertise, operational rigour, and entrepreneurial spirit, we deliver high-impact solutions that drive growth, improve performance, and create long-term value across industries. We do not consider a project complete until value has materialised on our clients' bottom line. That conviction — that impact must be real, measurable, and enduring — is what has guided us since 1999 and what defines every engagement we take on today.

At Advancy, we cultivate a culture rooted in excellence, pragmatism, and entrepreneurship. We value deep expertise, intellectual honesty, and teamwork, believing that true impact comes from critical thinking, client proximity, and the drive to always deliver beyond expectations. Three core values define our identity and are fully lived by our teams every day. Impact for Good: we are fully committed to shaping efficient solutions for our clients and contributing to a sustainable world. Trust: built daily through the twin pillars of transparency and benevolence, trust is not declared — it is earned, project by project, conversation by conversation. Entrepreneurship: the unequalled ability to shape our own growth in alignment with clients' development aspirations, thinking like challengers even when we — or they — already lead.

What sets Advancy apart is not a methodology — it is a mindset. We don't let juniors do all the work; our senior staff are passionate about results and draw on a wide array of industry, entrepreneurial, and consulting experience, remaining hands-on from brief to delivery. We don't get hired to rubber-stamp the past; we are agents of change who develop customised, sustainable, value-creating competitive advantages for each client. And we don't consider the job done until value has materialised on the bottom line — implementation is not an afterthought, it is part of the mandate. With 25+ years of sector-led expertise, an integrated vision that spans strategic insight and executional discipline, and a global network of nine offices, we bring the precision, agility, and entrepreneurial DNA that multinational corporations need to outperform in fast-moving markets. It is why more than 80% of our clients return.

Sustainability is not a standalone initiative at Advancy — it is embedded in our core value of Impact for Good. Our team is fully committed to shaping efficient solutions for our clients and contributing to a more sustainable world. This commitment extends to how we work: we stand by our clients at every stage of execution, ensuring the strategies we design are not only commercially sound but also responsible and forward-looking. As part of our training programmes, consultants have access to ESG Certification, equipping them to lead in an era where responsible business practice is no longer optional. We believe that what we deliver externally must be reflected internally — with consistency, integrity, and purpose.

At Advancy, community is built deliberately — inside the firm and through the work we do for clients and the broader world. Internally, our Chief Happiness Officer and wellness team support a culture of connection, balance, and energy: team retreats, Monday breakfasts, gym perks, and personalised concierge services are not perks bolted on as an afterthought, but expressions of our belief that a balanced life leads to better performance. Our Accelerated Growth & Learning programme and merit-based career pathways reflect a commitment to developing talent — investing in people the same way we invest in client outcomes. Because shaping the future, for our clients and for our people, is a responsibility we take seriously every day.

Diversity and inclusion at Advancy are lived through concrete initiatives, not aspiration statements. Our Women in Consulting programme celebrates and champions those shaping tomorrow's consulting landscape — because female leadership isn't just possible, it is vital. We foster a culture where women thrive, inspire, and rise. Recognised externally, Advancy is ranked #13 for Diversity with regard to Race/Ethnicity by Vault, a reflection of our commitment to building teams that reflect the global markets we serve. With nine offices across three continents and merit-based mobility as a cornerstone of career development, we create an environment where talent from every background can grow, contribute, and lead — on their own terms, at the pace their ambition deserves.
