GIVE YOUR CAREER A NEW DIMENSION
Joining UPMYCO is more than joining a consulting firm: it’s participating in an entrepreneurial venture where every talent is recognized, valued, and guided to reach full potential. We seek passionate individuals who share our vision of consulting and commitment to excellence.
ORIGIN AND STORY OF THE VENTURE
A story of entrepreneurship and impact
UPMYCO was born from a clear vision: create a different consulting firm, combining the technical excellence of large firms with the agility and client proximity of independent consultants.
The founding vision
Drawing on international experience and general management background, our founders created UPMYCO with the ambition to provide companies with high-value consulting, combining strategic vision with operational excellence. Consulting that helps executives break out of isolation when facing complex situations and effectively lead necessary transformations.
Deliberately controlled growth
Since its creation, UPMYCO has experienced organic growth, prioritizing quality of recruited consultants and completed engagements over rapid expansion. This approach enables us to maintain high standards and strong company culture.
Our DNA today
Today, UPMYCO stands out for its ability to support both growing SMEs and mid-market companies as well as investment funds, with particular presence in the South of France and French-speaking Africa, territories we know particularly well.
“When I created UPMYCO, I wanted to build the firm I would have liked to find as an executive: consultants who truly understand business challenges and provide pragmatic solutions, with genuine commitment to client success.”

CULTURE, VALUES, AND BOARD’S APPROACH
Excellence and humanity
UPMYCO’s culture reflects our deep convictions about what creates value in a consulting firm and the impact of its work.
Transparency and rigor
Our culture is one of transparency, rigor, and operational excellence. What we deliver to our clients, we first demand of ourselves internally.
Transparency means communicating systematically, in a structured and concise manner. It’s working as a team, internally and with our clients’ staff, and engaging with kindness, courtesy, empathy, and attentive listening.
Standards and respect
Rigor means respecting client needs, executing engagements on schedule, with clear recommendation presentations, impeccable reports, and the highest level of client satisfaction. It also means using UPMYCO’s work methods, which aim to standardize and harmonize our value proposition.
Performance and added value
Operational excellence is a performance culture, the pursuit of value creation, improving sales, EBITDA, profit, profitability, cash flow, and project financing capacity for our clients—but also pursuing this performance in our own engagements. It’s aiming as high as possible in our creativity and solutions, delivering the extra mile, and demonstrating its value.
Diversity and inclusion
Our culture also embraces cultural diversity—from the South of France, the African continent, and each country where we operate. From men and women of all origins and faiths who trust us for what we bring them. We respect each other and listen to one another.
