Nacer Madi joins Paris office of Kepler Consulting

Kepler Consulting has grown its team in Paris with Nacer Madi, a senior expert specialised in operations, procurement and supply chain.

With offices in France (Paris), the US (Chicago and Miami), China (Shanghai) and India (Chennai), Kepler Consulting is an international consulting firm that helps clients with business transformation and operational improvement. The firm, founded in 2007 in France, has a team of around 50 employees, working alongside a network of associates in over 15 countries. 

The addition of Nacer Madi to the firm’s Paris office bolsters Kepler’s operations-related services. The newly appointed Director has gained a wealth of experience in operational optimisation (Six Sigma & Lean Manufacturing), and supply chain management and procurement, across industries including automotive, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Kepler Consulting itself works for clients in industry (automotive, equipment goods, aerospace, consumer goods), retail (fashion, luxury), healthcare and private equity.

Prior to joining the international consulting firm, Madi spent a decade with BravoSolution, one of the globe’s larger providers of spend management services and solutions. Previously, he worked as an entrepreneur (he founded Lean and Six Sigma specialist ML6), as a consultant at Masai (which combined with Lowendal in 2008 and currently operates as Ayming after the merger with Alma Consulting Group in 2016) and as an internal Six Sigma advisor at Honeywell. Madi graduated from UTC (Université de Technologie de Compiègne) as an engineer. 

Private-equity backed Kepler Consulting has set ambitious goals for the coming years. By 2020, the management consultancy aims to have doubled in size vis-a-vis its 2016 headcount, realised through a combination of organic growth (in particular in the strategic markets of the United States and China) and acquisitions. Commenting on the ambition previously, Pierre Rougier, one of the firm’s co-founders, said “Kepler is looking to make acquisitions in the fields of digital, innovation and supply chain.” 

In other recent appointments in France’s consulting industry, Alvarez & Marsal hired Philippe Dupont and Nicolas Taufflieb as Managing Directors in Paris, while Kea & Partners recently appointed three Senior Partners in its home market.
