Our team shares a common vision and approach to our mission, and we work closely together to provide our clients with the best experience possible.
Guillaume served as chief of staff and advisor to several prominent political figures before joining a recruitment firm as a consulting director, where he developed talent recruitment for the private sector.
At the end of 2022, he answered the call of entrepreneurship to co-found Exanter and put the combination of his expertise and experiences at the service of business executives and leaders.
"Creating Exanter was the best way to provide executives and leaders with a holistic and complete toolbox to support their development.
We master both business diplomacy and the intricacies of the public and private sectors. And we carefully leverage our unique and hybrid network. This allows us to facilitate constructive dialogues between actors across inherently different sectors - economic, political,and legal.
We also take great pride in supporting our clients by using a comprehensive and thorough approach: we provide strategic-level advice, but we like to roll up our sleeves and apply this advice in a very concrete way. Our ambition is to expand Exanter on a European and international level in order to further support the growth and success of our clients.
Personally, I’m particularly motivated by two key aspects: on the one hand, seeing that we contribute to the development of companies and start-ups on a daily basis. On the other hand, being able to ground our work in a spirit of exchange and transmission."
A former advisor and chief of staff to prominent national political figures, Jean also served as a chief of staff at CMA CGM before joining a recruitment firm as a consulting director.
At the end of 2022, he co-founded Exanter in order to mobilise all of his expertise in service of his clients.
"Exanter was founded under one key guiding principle: the value of relationship-building is central to our approach, and this is what sets us apart in our industry. We are above all experts in a specific method - one acquired from working at the highest levels of public sector executive offices and cabinets: knowing how to recruit the right person who corresponds to specific needs, making connections across ecosystems, and moving projects forward. But in order for this to lead to success, tailor-made strategies are needed. These strategies must involve dialogue and meaningful connections. We therefore offer an approach that is a mix between methodological rigor, subject-matter expertise, relational intelligence and relationship-building.
I like to say that at Exanter, we don't have PowerPoint, but we have ideas! We are also passionate about innovation and agility, and we strive to integrate innovative strategies in everything we do. Moreover, recruiting high-level collaborators has been a wonderful discovery for me. Helping to create the conditions for the development and growth of a company to coincide with the personal and professional growth and development of its top executives is a very rewarding experience. Sharing the passion I have for my work with our team and our clients is equally stimulating and rewarding."
A former collaborator of the President of Dijon Métropole, Kevin worked alongside a Questor of the National Assembly as a press and communications advisor. He then advanced as a senior consultant in various consulting agencies before contributing to the structuring of public affairs for an industrial startup committed to renewable energy.
In early 2025, he joined Exanter as an associate consultant.
"The Exanter adventure represents the synthesis of my professional journey, allowing me to act daily as a balance point between public decision-makers and economic players. We provide our clients with in-depth analysis of key issues, precise insights into ongoing dynamics, and tailored strategic recommendations. Our goal: to optimize their decision-making, maximize their performance, and ensure their success in a complex and unstable political and institutional environment.
What drives me is our ability to build high-quality, relevant, and mutually beneficial relationships. Our commitment goes beyond simple support: we strengthen our clients' teams, identify and develop talent, and open new career opportunities.
Our added value at Exanter lies in a sustainable strategic vision, built on strong, high-level partnerships that drive impact. The DNA of our team is summed up in this ability to transform ambitions into tangible successes."
Agapé is a project manager who has been with the firm since 2023. She has a Master’s degree in Politics from SciencePo Bordeaux, where she specialised in the France-Italy track.
"Joining Exanter has allowed me to transform my theoretical knowledge into practical, hands-on work. The variety and diversity of projects, and the rigor and care with which we prepare our monitoring processes and advisory memos for our clients allow me to be proactive in my work.
I particularly appreciate being both supported - none of my questions go unanswered - and encouraged to make proposals. As my first post-university professional experience, Exanter provides me with the exciting opportunity to leverage my skills and expertise in the service of the companies we support. I feel fully involved in the development of Exanter, and I hope to soon open Exanter’s branch in Italy, where I completed part of my university studies.”
