Global management consulting firms A.T. Kearney, Monitor Deloitte and Oliver Wyman have added new partners to their leadership ranks in France. All new partners – Delphine Bourrilly, Étienne Sebaux, Safia Limousin, Olivier Perrin, Tarik Ouahmed, Damien Renaudeau and Mathieu Sébastien – are based in the Paris office of the consultancies.

A.T. Kearney

Delphine Bourrilly joined A.T. Kearney in 2009, after previously serving Swiss private bank UBS. She specialises in operating models, organisation design and human capital, as well as large transformation programmes. The newly promoted partner works predominantly across four sectors – financial services, retail & distribution, utilities and hospitality & tourism.

Étienne Sebaux began his career in 2001 as a consultant at A.T. Kearney. In 2006, he joined a rival consulting firm (Alma Consulting Group; today Ayming) where he worked as a procurement consultant. In 2010, he returned to A.T. Kearney as a manager in the Paris office, after which he was elected a Director in 2014. In his partner role, Sebaux is tasked with leading large strategic transformation in the supply chain and operations domain. 

Safia Limousin joined A.T. Kearney in March this year from EY, where she was a partner in the Big Four firm’s Advisory practice and head of the French Power & Utilities practice and of the Operations practice for Western Europe & North Africa. She began her career within the Suez group as a design engineer, then joined Deloitte Consulting in 1999, where she worked on organisation and reengineering engagements in the European energy sector. Prior to her spell at EY, Limousin had a thirteen year tenure at Roland Berger, where she was latterly a partner.

The appointments of Bourrilly, Sebaux and Limousin take A.T. Kearney’s partner team in France to seventeen.

Monitor Deloitte

The strategy consulting arm of Deloitte Consulting, Monitor Deloitte, meanwhile added Olivier Perrin to its French leadership. The former partner of Schlumberger Business Consulting (SBC) and Accenture Strategy (which acquired SBC in 2015) has been appointed a senior partner in the firm’s Energy & Resources wing. Prior to serving Schlumberger Business Consulting, Perrin worked for two other professional services firms – Celerant Consulting (acquired by Hitachi Consulting in 2013) and Orfis Baker Tilly, the French member firm of international accounting and consulting firm Baker Tilly.

Perrin focuses on helping upstream energy operators in their strategy, large transformation and performance improvement efforts within their operations. He specialises in portfolio strategy, cost efficiency, organisation design and change management.

Oliver Wyman

Tarik Ouahmed has been with Oliver Wyman since the summer of 2015, when he joined from Societe Generale Corporate and Investment Banking, where he was a Director in the bank’s Financial Institutions Group M&A team. Previously, he worked for insurance company Scor, Credit Suisse, Oliver Wyman and JP Morgan. Ouahmed is an expert in strategic and commercial M&A work (due diligence, transaction support) and restructuring, serving mainly financial services, private equity and industrial groups. 

Ouahmed, who holds a MBA from the London Business School and Columbia Business School, has relocated from Oliver Wyman’s office in London to Paris. He has been tasked with expanding the firm’s corporate finance & advisory activity in the country.

Joining Ouahmed in being promoted to partner is Damien Renaudeau, who has been with Oliver Wyman since he started his career in 2006. Renaudeau works for the firm’s Financial Services practice and has completed over two dozen projects for banks and insurance companies, as well as for private equity firms.
