About
Our Company
We are proud of our history and are excited about our future. From our humble beginnings to a successful global organization today, we have remained loyal to some core values: excellence, tenacity, collaboration, innovation, accountability.
Here’s the key to our success.
We are focused and aim to be the best at what we do, globally. This translates into the efforts we put in every single mandate we execute. We are also convinced that success can cohabit with fun, so we very much encourage camaraderie and team spirit inside and outside the office. Finally, we have been giving back to the community from early days and see this as a long-term duty for our company.

Our mission to empowering futures.
As part of our CSR strategy, we are proud to be actively partnering with Impetus in the UK and Youth INC in the US, both venture philanthropy organisations that back over 120 charities supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in school, in work and in life. Each of these organisations finds, builds and funds high potential charities, providing unrestricted core funding, support and access to a vast pro-bono network of professionals, to create positive impact for underserved communities.
In addition, we have crafted an engagement programme for our team members with charities focusing on building confidence and creating opportunities for disadvantaged young people, through mentoring, sports and social enterprise, notably Football Beyond Borders in the UK and South Bronx United in the US.
We are deeply committed to these initiatives that are core to our long-term mission as a company.
