Strategy& has expanded the size of its partner team in France to sixteen, following the hiring of partners Olivier Maltese and Stéphane Loubère.

Stéphane Loubère also joined Strategy&’s leadership ranks in the first quarter, he focuses on operational excellence and digitisation. He advises clients in the process and engineering intensive industries with large scale transformation, and supports industrial companies with performance improvement and Industry 4.0.

Earlier in his career he worked in industry, and for Capgemini Invent including its predecessor Bossard Consultants for over five years.
Alongside his consulting work, Loubère is a lecturer in industrial organisation at Sciences-Po Paris and a teacher at the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Arts & Métiers (ENSAM), the school where he graduated from twenty-five years ago.
