History

Co-founded in 1999 by Matthieu Courtecuisse (who graduated from ENSAE ParisTech in 1995), the firm started out in Paris in the financial services industry before developing expertise in other industries including: energy, telecommunications and media, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, government, actuarial sciences and CRM.[1]

The firm established offices in Belgium (in Brussels since 2006), Italy (Rome and Milan since 2006) and Morocco (in Casablanca since 2007).[2]

In September 2008, Sia Partners acquired EDS Consulting Services France (formerly AT Kearney Interactive), a firm of 20 consultants.[3] Prior to this, the American information technology group Hewlett-Packard (HP) had acquired the computer engineering services arm of EDS (Electronic Data Systems).

In November 2010, Sia Partners acquired the company Axelboss, the management consulting arm of the company Valtech. This increased the firm's headcount from around 30 to almost 300 (50 of whom located in five foreign cities).[4] In August 2012, Sia Partners acquired OTC Americas, the New York branch of the OTC Conseil group.[5] This acquisition aimed at reinforcing the firm's international presence and proximity to investment banks. This international expansion was reinforced in October 2012, when the previously established companies Sia Conseil France and Sia Conseil Maroc changed their names to the international brand name Sia Partners.

In September 2013, Sia Partners announced the acquisition of the international management consulting arm of the Investance group, a management consultancy and services company in the finance industry. This acquisition brought with it 60 consultants and three new sites: London (20 consultants), Hong Kong and Singapore (20 consultants).[6] It also led to the Sia Partners team in New York doubling in size to reach 40 consultants.[7]

In February 2014, Sia Partners strengthened its procurement services offering through the acquisition of the firm Sourcing France (formerly Factea France)[8] In August 2014, Sia Partners opened a second North American office in North America, in Montreal in Canada. In April 2015, it opened its third office in Asia, in Tokyo in Japan. Sia Partners's third North American office, in Charlotte, North Carolina, opened in October 2015.[9]

Sia Partners announced an annual growth in activity by almost 30%. Courtecuisse expects this trend to continue (notably in the U.S., where the firm has just purchased an office space in Manhattan's Financial District), and is looking to the west coast for future expansion.

In September 2016, Sia Partners announced the acquisition of Molten Group, a consulting firm based in London and Houston, TX, with a specialization in transformation and the oil and gas industry.[10][11]

2017 ushered in new horizons for the firm, with the creation of an investment fund called Studio. The fund aims to invest 5 million euros in select start-ups over the next three years. Studio's first investment is Big Moustache, a French e-commerce site for men's shaving products.[12]

In May 2018, Sia partners acquired the French digital marketing agency Fove.[13]
