Humatica launches 4th European office in Paris

Humatica has launched a new office in Paris, its fourth in Europe and fifth worldwide.

London-headquartered Humatica advises private equity companies and their portfolio companies on human capital-focused services, including due diligence, people transformation, organization performance, reorganizations, and culture.

Founded in 2003 in Switzerland, Humatica has been active in France since 2005, supporting its clients from its offices in Zurich and London (and more recently Munich). Building on its track record and to better meet local demand, the consultancy has now established an on the ground presence in France’s capital.

“As one of the most active private equity markets in Europe, France has been an important market for Humatica over many years. It demands a local presence to serve properly,” said Andros Payne, Founder and Managing Partner of Humatica. “We are therefore thrilled to make a long-term commitment to our French clients with the establishment of a Paris office.”

The Paris office will serve clients across France and the French-speaking parts of Belgium.

Leading the venture is Jan Löning, an experienced partner that Humatica has been working with since 2014.

As French-German bi-national, Löning has extensive international consulting and management experience. Following an initial career with Oliver Wyman, he held senior executive positions in Germany, the US and France, working with companies including Fnac, Yves Rocher, Oscaro, Avis, Europcar and Mobile Planet.

Löning has in-depth expertise with organizational change in retail sales, e-commerce, and mobility services.

Commenting on his appointment to Managing Partner for France, Löning said: “I am pleased to build on Humatica’s nearly 20-year track record of serving French clients by leading the development of our team and service offer in France. I have known Humatica very early on and am impressed by the development of its capabilities, and its strong and clear focus on the private equity environment.”
