Wavestone in France

Wavestone, a firm with European roots…  

…and a global powerhouse able to support the most ambitious strategic transformations

Wavestone’s distinctiveness in its market lies in its history and origins. In a highly fragmented world shaped by new global balances, the firm remains committed to its European heritage and to the entrepreneurial spirit of its founders.

Our roots are deeply anchored in France, where the firm was founded in 1990 by Pascal Imbert and Michel Dancoisne. Both remain actively involved in leading the firm and are still its main shareholders. This stability supports the long-term sustainability of our growth model; Wavestone has been listed on the stock exchange since 2000 (Euronext Paris).

Our headquarters are in Paris and bring together most of our teams. We are also present in Lyon, Marseille, and Nantes, ensuring close support adapted to the specific challenges of both private and public stakeholders across the country.

Beyond France, our expansion continued in Germany, Switzerland, then the United Kingdom and North America. Today, Wavestone operates across four continents and ranks among world‑class consulting firms, able to support major companies in their most ambitious strategic transformations.

  •  360° value proposition combining industry-specific, technological and cross-functional capabilities
  •  €944m of revenue, including 14% from AI‑related projects
  •  + 6.000 employees, including 4,000 in France
  •  + 1.000 planned hires in 2026

A model without silos enabling tailor‑made solutions…

…mobilizing the most relevant experts, wherever they are

Our teams operate across all the firm’s areas of expertise, in France and internationally. Our approach combines a unique blend of capabilities at the intersection of business and technology.

Born at the heart of the digital era, the firm has continuously reinvented itself in line with major technological shifts (telecom networks, cloud architectures, cybersecurity, SAP, and now AI). By combining the DNA of a tech‑specialist player with deep sector knowledge, we have become an end‑to‑end partner capable of supporting the most strategic transformations in the digital age.

We offer our clients a fully tailor‑made and 360° consulting approach, from business model redesign to the deployment of cutting‑edge technologies, including the integration of sustainability challenges.

Pascal Imbert

Driven by a collective spirit, Wavestone has never stopped growing and has built its development on a simple positioning: combining leading‑edge technological expertise with an in‑depth understanding of our clients’ sectors.
