Advancy

"You can't be what you can't see." And that’s exactly why we created Women in Consulting at Advancy. When I started out in strategy #consulting, I didn't see many women in #leadership roles. Today, as a Partner at #Advancy, I feel a strong responsibility to pass the torch, open doors, and encourage the next #generation to dare, to ask questions, to grow, and to lead. That’s the spirit behind the second edition of our #Women in Consulting evening. An event by women, for all, designed to lift the veil on our industry, foster real conversations, and share what it actually means to build a fulfilling career in strategy. 📅 Thursday, October 16th – 6:30 PM 📍 Advancy Paris HQ What to expect: ✅ Honest stories from consultants and leaders ✅ A deep dive into what we do, and how we grow ✅ Real talk on leadership, ambition, and balance ✨ and a chance to connect over a relaxed cocktail Our first edition filled up in no time: if you’re a student or recent graduate curious about consulting, I warmly encourage you to register early and join us this fall. Let's shape the future together! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eJqtm8CW #WomenInConsulting #StrongHer #Leadership #Empowerment #StrategyConsulting #Advancy #Inclusion #CareerGrowth #FemaleLeadership #HEC #ESSEC #Polytechnique #CentraleSupélec #MinesParis #Ponts #ChimieParis #ESPCI HEC Paris ESSEC Business School ESCP Business School École Polytechnique CentraleSupélec Mines Paris - PSL Mines Paris Alumni ESPCI Paris - PSL

🏉 Performance. Resilience. Collective ambition. At Advancy, we believe in celebrating those who go the extra mile, on and off the field! Last night, we had the pleasure of hosting the exceptional women of the ERT (Essec Rugby Team) to honor not just their back-to-back victory at the 2025 Top8 tournament, but most importantly, their stunning win at the Coupe de France des ESC de rugby féminin, a tournament that Advancy proudly supported as an official partner.   This evening was more than a celebration. It was a moment to share stories, gain inspiration, connect with alumni like Laurence-Anne Parent (ESSEC Business School, Senior Partner), our special guests Céline Masieri, Lola Mimoun, and Guillaume Gervais, who shared their unique perspectives and inspiring experiences with the team and our community. Their journeys reminded us of the core values that unite us: #Impact: because excellence is earned, not given. #Entrepreneurship: daring to push boundaries. Boldness: creating a space where #talent thrives collectively.   👏 To all the Advancers who came to cheer, connect, and celebrate, thank you for keeping the team spirit alive!   #Advancy #TheAdvancyWay #ERT #ESSEC #WomenInSport #Leadership #Performance #Impact #Rugby #Trust #Entrepreneurship #CollectiveStrength

At #Advancy, we believe that diversity is not just a value, it’s a strategic imperative. That’s why we created #StrongHer, our in-house initiative designed to amplify the voices and journeys of women who lead differently. Through a series of curated events, StrongHer creates space for open, honest conversations around ambition, #career transitions, challenges, and purpose, with the aim of inspiring new paths and encouraging every woman to shape her own leadership. Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Meena R. Mansharamani for a powerful StrongHer session. Her journey from strategy consulting to FMCG leadership, from entrepreneurship to pro-bono #mentoring reminded us that true #leadership lies in alignment: between who you are, what you do, and what you stand for. As a strategy consulting firm, we have a role to play in making leadership more inclusive by nurturing bold perspectives, diverse career paths, and cultures where women can thrive on their own terms. Thank you to Meena, to our StrongHer community lead by Laurence-Anne Parent and to all those who continue to champion a more balanced and impactful future. #Advancy #StrongHer #WomenInLeadership #StrategyConsulting #Inclusion #AuthenticLeadership #Empowerment #CareerInspiration #TheAdvancyWay

As the #retail sector faces unprecedented disruption, some players are choosing #transformation over retreat. In a joint op-ed in LSA, Joannes SOËNEN, CEO of Jules and Laurence-Anne Parent, Senior Partner at #Advancy share their conviction: #AI should not be implemented for its own sake, but as a core lever for agility, efficiency, and competitiveness. At #Advancy, we believe AI must be fully integrated into transformation strategies, not treated as a side experiment. From demand forecasting and inventory optimization to customer personalization and the rise of autonomous agents, AI opens up powerful new possibilities for value creation in retail. 👏 Thank you to Jules for this thoughtful exchange and to LSA for the opportunity to contribute to this important conversation. 👉 Read the article (subscriber access): https://lnkd.in/eg8sZF9W #RetailTransformation #ArtificialIntelligence #ValueCreation #AI #DigitalStrategy #ClientDialogue #Advancy #Jules #LSA #Leadership #Innovation

#StrongHer: Empowering women’s leadership! At Advancy, we believe that #leadership is stronger when it embraces resilience, transmission, and long-term vision. As part of our #StrongHer initiative, which celebrates women who are shaping the future through their leadership, we were honoured to welcome Catherine Fulconis, who served as Executive Committee Member at Hermès and Chairwoman of Hermès Sellier. Through her unique perspective at the helm of one of France’s most emblematic maisons, Catherine offered deep insights into what it means to lead with purpose, preserving cultural #heritage while driving #innovation, nurturing excellence while staying rooted in French craftsmanship. Her words reminded us that resilience is not only about overcoming obstacles, but about building something lasting with integrity, humility, and a constant eye on transmission. A heartfelt thank you to Catherine for sharing her story and for inspiring the Advancy community to lead with intention, patience, and #impact. At Advancy, StrongHer is part of our broader commitment to fostering inclusive leadership and empowering the next generation of changemakers: women who shape organizations, challenge the status quo, and carry forward a legacy of excellence. #StrongHer #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #Transmission #Resilience #WomenInBusiness #Advancy #Hermès #FrenchExcellence #Heritage #Empowerment Eric de Bettignies Laurence-Anne Parent #Impact #ESG
