Founded in 2001, Kéa is France's leading strategy and transformation consulting firm dedicated to executive management. With 220 consultants in France and more than 900 across the globe via The Transformation Alliance — our network of five independent consulting firms — we cover the full spectrum of C-suite challenges, from strategy design to operational and cultural transformation. We became a société à mission in 2020 (the third French firm to do so) and a B Corp in 2021, reflecting our conviction that economic performance and contribution to the common good must go hand in hand. Our purpose is simple: to drive transformations for a desirable economy — a third way in which companies play a decisive role in making business more responsible, human, and durable.

We are a collective of committed entrepreneurs, unified by shared values and a belief that people are the driving force behind value creation. Our name — inspired by a Greek island — embodies our attachment to European culture, our independence of mind, and our openness to the world. Our consultants blend strategic rigor with genuine empathy, working closely with client teams in co-creation rather than from a distance. We recruit from France's top Grandes Écoles and are proud to nurture an intrapreneurial culture where curiosity, courage, and the human dimension are as valued as analytical excellence. Kéa is our common good — what unites us.

We support executive leadership teams across ten areas of expertise: Strategy & Business Models, Transformation, Organisation & Governance, Human Capital & Engagement, Operations, AI/Data/Digital & Technologies, Innovation & Foresight, Impact & Responsibility, Marketing/Sales & Customers, and Private Equity & Corporate M&A. In every engagement, we work simultaneously on 'the what' and 'the how' — combining strategy and culture, vision and execution. Our multi-specialist group model brings together core consulting (Kéa), innovation and foresight (Tilt Ideas), digital transformation (Kéa-Euclyd), data intelligence (Veltys), complex deployment (Arkos), executive coaching (Kéa Executives), and social economy consulting (CO Consulting).

Our raison d'être is to drive transformations for a desirable economy — a model in which companies reconcile performance with contribution to the common good. Since 2001, we have worked alongside executive leadership in service of a capitalism that places people at the heart of value creation. As a société à mission and B Corp, we hold ourselves accountable not just to our clients, but to society and the planet. We believe that only by aligning economic, social, and environmental performance can companies truly secure sustainable success.

Free-spirited excellence: we bring intellectual independence, rigor, and an original perspective to every challenge. Responsibility: as a purpose-driven company, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical and sustainable practice. Innovation: we continuously reinvent our approaches, combining strategy, culture, and technology. Esprit entrepreneurial & courage: our consultants take ownership, push boundaries, and make bold recommendations. Warmth & human connection: we believe the human factor is as critical to transformation as the strategic roadmap.

We are the only French strategy consulting firm that has simultaneously obtained société à mission status and B Corp certification — proof that responsible transformation is not a marketing claim, but a structural commitment. Our distinctive approach combines strategy and culture in every project: we don't just define the target, we create the conditions for teams to own and drive the transformation. Our multi-specialist group model allows us to mobilize the precise combination of expertise — strategy, digital, data, innovation, deployment — each engagement demands. And through The Transformation Alliance, we bring the local roots and cultural fluency of independent firms across 12 countries, delivered with the coherence of a single shared mission.

Kéa became a société à mission in 2020 — the third French firm to do so — and B Corp certified in 2021, embedding social and environmental responsibility directly into our governance. Our raison d'être is to drive transformations for a desirable economy, and we help clients build strategic transformation approaches that act on three levels: regulatory compliance, business sustainability, and contribution to the common good. Our Mission Committee, composed of six external strategic advisors and four internal representatives, oversees progress against our mission commitments.
