A company that has grown significantly

Sixteen years ago, Delville Management was founded with a simple belief: when a company faces a critical moment in its history, it needs the right person, at the right time, capable of taking immediate action.

That belief hasn't changed since. However, our company has evolved significantly.

Over the years, Delville Management has achieved many milestones and profoundly transformed its model.  

• Our territorial presence has been strengthened with offices in Paris, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, and Strasbourg, as well as in Germany, Italy, Spain, and even Morocco.

• We have structured our expertise by practice areas and expanded our team, which now comprises over 80 employees.

• This evolution has been accompanied by strong growth in our activity, with over 1,700 missions completed since the firm's opening and an expanded community of over 20,000 qualified interim managers.

• Recently, we enhanced our interim management offering with the launch of Delville Experts, an entity dedicated to intermediate business expertise assignments.  

• Finally, in January 2026, we significantly strengthened our operations in Germany with thearrival of five Senior Partners in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Mannheim, and Saarbrücken, and a team of 10 people.

We have evolved, and so has our organization. It therefore seemed necessary to update our identity to more accurately reflect who we have become and what we aim to embody for our clients.

Behind the brand: people at the heart of our business

Beyond its visual expression, this new brand was conceived to reflect our way of working, by putting people at the center.  

Our business is, above all, about connections and commitment. Behind every assignment, there are leaders facing major decisions, teams undergoing significant transformation, and managers operating in demanding contexts.  

When a leader calls upon us, they primarily expect a trusted partner capable of quickly understanding their situation and providing a tailored solution within very short deadlines.

This expectation of responsiveness and excellence is at the core of our business. We therefore wanted to highlight what enables us to meet it daily: our ability to identify the ideal manager within 72 hours through the combination of three complementary areas of expertise.

• First, strong industry expertise: Our practice directors are specialists in their sector. Their experience as former executives or seasoned managers allows them to engage in peer-to-peer discussions with our clients, quickly understand their challenges, and identify the most relevant expertise to address their issues.

• Next, a strong local presence : Located close to businesses, both regionally and internationally, our teams understand the economic realities of their territory. This proximity fosters direct communication and the building of lasting relationships with both our clients and our managers, allowing us to quickly grasp the specificities of each context and support each mission with precision, responsiveness, and efficiency.

• Finally, dedicated functional expertise: Specialized by function, our sourcing teams identify the most suitable managers for each assignment, using a certified process. By working closely with practice directors and local teams, they combine their expertise to refine the selection and present our clients only with the most relevant profiles in light of their challenges.

It is the combination of these three dimensions that allows us to move quickly without sacrificing quality, to deeply understand our clients' challenges from the very first interactions, and to identify the most suitable person for each situation.

This step is essential, but it is only the beginning of our support: throughout the assignment, we also provide rigorous and structured follow-up to ensure its smooth progress and the achievement of the set objectives.

Growing ambition, an unwavering commitment to excellence

This new identity is not a break from the past. It reflects the evolution of Delville Management and our ambition for the years to come.

We did not want to start from a blank slate. Instead, we chose to retain certain constituent elements of our historical logo and extend their use across our entire brand universe. 

The shapes that make up our visual identity are not merely graphic. They convey several dimensions that have characterized Delville Management since its inception: the power of collaboration, our high-quality support, our ability to connect the right people at the right time, and our commitment to supporting businesses during the moments that matter most to them.

By reinterpreting these elements on a larger scale, we aimed to create continuity between our history and our new brand expression, while giving greater visibility to what constitutes the core of our model.

The brand is evolving. Our commitment, however, remains the same.

With that touch of boldness that we hope to continue cultivating in the years to come.

Delville Management launches "Delville Experts": a new offering to broaden access to transition management

Already recognised as a key player in premium transition management, Delville Management announces the launch of "Delville Experts", a new entity dedicated to operational assignments at the middle-management level. The aim: to respond to growing demand from companies for targeted assignments requiring functional expertise at adjusted rates. This strategic initiative opens up transition management to a broader client base seeking more operationally focused profiles to complement the premium assignments led by Delville Management.

A market in transformation

Transition management is now a sought-after solution for supporting companies through critical phases. It involves deploying, for a defined period, managers who are immediately operational and capable of addressing urgent, strategic challenges: replacing a team member, leading a critical project, restructuring or driving change management. Historically reserved for assignments involving executive-level functions, transition management has undergone significant shifts in recent years — shifts that Delville Experts is designed to address.

Meeting a dual demand: clients and independent managers

Since its founding in 2010, Delville Management has focused on core transition management assignments involving, among other things, strong management oversight. But according to Patrick Abadie, founder and CEO, the market is evolving: "Today, we are detecting growing demand from companies that need not executives, but operational experts capable of stepping in quickly on specific topics. That is the market Delville Experts is here to serve."

This new offering also responds to a structural trend: the growing aspiration of middle managers for greater independence. "Many professionals today want to work on assignments, for clients, rather than for a boss within a traditional hierarchy. Delville Experts opens that door for them, with the same level of rigour and support that has built the group's reputation," says Amaury de Vorges, appointed to lead Delville Experts, bringing over 25 years of experience in recruitment, staffing and transition management firms to this project.

A high-potential segment

The transition management market for profiles billed at €800 per day represents nearly five times more assignments than the premium segment. With Delville Experts, the firm intends to capture a significant share of this market. "Within three years, our ambition is for Delville Experts to contribute 10 to 15% of our total revenue," says Patrick Abadie.

With Indigo Capital as a partner — a minority shareholder in the group since 2024 — Delville Management benefits from additional strategic support to structure and accelerate this new venture.

"This launch is above all driven by our ambition to broaden our offering and respond to new client needs, while remaining true to our values," says Patrick Abadie.

A shared identity, a dedicated organisation

While Delville Experts targets a new segment, the standards remain the same. "We want to offer our clients the same quality of service, the same responsiveness and the same level of support as for our premium assignments," assures director Amaury de Vorges.

Since its founding, Delville Management has supported more than 700 clients — mid-market companies and large groups — through critical transformations, both in France and internationally. With Delville Experts, the firm sets out a new ambition: to democratise access to transition management without any compromise on excellence.

About Delville Management:

Delville Management, a pure-play reference firm in transition management, supports its clients through high-stakes strategic transformations by deploying senior executives on a temporary basis within their organisations.

Paris / Düsseldorf, January 2026 — Delville Management, a leading European transition management firm, announces a significant strengthening of its operations in Germany with the arrival of five senior partners: Markus Heimbrodt, Caspar von Gadow, Axel Steffen, Christian Lindner, and Guido Anterist.

Alongside Ulrich von Fürstenberg, already based in Düsseldorf, and an expanded local team including Alexandra Scheidt, Director, they now form a team of ten professionals serving clients in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Mannheim, and Saarbrücken.

This expansion marks a significant milestone in Delville's European development. The new partners collectively bring over 60 years of experience and have conducted more than 600 transition management assignments for industrial groups, Mittelstand companies, and service businesses.

Their arrival enables Delville Management to deploy its model across several strategic regions in Germany — a model built on strong local presence, deep sector expertise, high responsiveness, and rigorous selection processes.

Strengthening local market coverage

With this reinforced German team, Delville Management will be able to:

• ensure a direct local presence across five strategic regions, strengthening proximity to clients and economic ecosystems;
• increase its capacity for rapid intervention in critical management situations (transition, transformation, crisis stabilisation, operational improvement);
• offer German executives access to Delville's European network of transition managers, supported by common methodologies and a shared operational framework across all countries.

A proven model in France, now deployed in Germany

This development follows the regional operational model that Delville Management has had in place in France since 2019, built on locally embedded partners who work in close collaboration with business leaders, executive committees, and operational teams to provide effective support at decisive moments.

The strengthening of the German presence follows the same approach, with experienced local partners rooted in their regional economies and capable of responding quickly and effectively to the challenges facing executives.

A new chapter in Delville's European strategy

Delville has progressively built a multi-country platform, extending its presence in France, Italy, and Spain. In 2025, the group also launched Delville Experts, a dedicated entity focused on middle management, further expanding its capacity to meet a wider range of management needs.

The strengthening of operations in Germany is a logical step, given the size, complexity, and dynamism of the German industrial fabric, as well as the growing demand for high-value transition management solutions.

Statements from leadership

Patrick Abadie, Founder and Chairman, Delville Group

"Germany sits at the heart of our European roadmap. Reinforcing our presence with recognised local partners is part of a long-term strategy: building a European organisation founded on proximity, operational excellence, and trust.

Our development has always been progressive yet ambitious — from opening our first regional offices in France in 2019, to expanding into Southern Europe, to launching Delville Experts in 2025. The arrival of this German team opens a new chapter in that journey. It also reflects the momentum and strength of our Group, which continues to grow while remaining true to its values and operational principles. And this is just the beginning."

Eric Audoin, Partner – Head of International and Paris Office

"Our approach has always been the same: invest first in people. We rely on experienced partners with strong operational backgrounds and deep ties to their local business communities. Transition management is, above all, a relationship-driven profession where credibility is built on local expertise. The partners joining us have an in-depth understanding of German market realities — from complex industrial environments to the specific expectations of Mittelstand family businesses. Their experience, combined with Delville's structured processes, allows us to support German organisations even more effectively."Markus Heimbrodt and Caspar von Gadow, Managing Directors of Delville Management Germany

"Joining Delville Management allows us to combine our knowledge of the German market with a European organisation recognised for its rigour, client proximity, and strong human values. We share the same vision of transition management: speed of intervention, clarity of decision-making, and tangible impact. Together, we want to build a strong and lasting presence in the regions we serve."

Paul Jaubert is joining Delville Management's South-West office, led by Arnaud Mézière. Now based in Bordeaux, he will strengthen the firm's capacity to operate across the entire territory covered by the office in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie.

Meeting the challenges of a region in motion

Since the South-West office was established in Toulouse in 2023, Delville Management has already supported more than thirty clients — large groups, mid-sized companies, SMEs, and start-ups — on transformation projects, project management, turnaround & recovery, and leadership transition management assignments.

In a VUCA environment where benchmarks are shifting, priorities are changing, and complexity is intensifying, the demand for transition management is multiplying. "The food and agribusiness sector is under pressure, aerospace and defence are growing strongly, and other sectors such as healthcare, energy, tech, and services are gaining momentum. To better support the region's players in this dynamic, we are reinforcing our regional task force. Paul joins the existing team to respond even more effectively to our clients' expectations," explains Arnaud Mézière.

A complementary team

With Arnaud, Mélanie Chervet, Alanah Rookes, and now Paul in Bordeaux, the South-West team is growing while remaining agile. A complementarity of profiles, networks, and expertise that allows the firm to respond precisely to the needs of regional companies.

A homecoming, at the heart of the region

Originally from the Bordeaux area, Paul knows the local landscape well: the businesses, their decision-makers, their expectations. "My move to Bordeaux is a homecoming, but also a genuine field project. What I enjoy is meeting industry players, understanding their production environment, their internal pressures, their team dynamics," he explains.

His local, family, and cultural roots give him a deep understanding of the codes and economic dynamics of the South-West.

This is precisely the type of background that Delville Management values as part of its proximity strategy. To best support local companies, the firm relies on profiles that are deeply rooted in their region — like Paul — capable of building lasting relationships of trust and immediately understanding the realities and cultural specificities of the local market.

Expertise at the service of local industry players

Beyond his regional roots, Paul Jaubert brings solid experience built over a varied career. An engineer by training, he began his career in recycling and decontamination, then moved into international non-ferrous metals trading. He subsequently moved into recruitment before joining Delville Management's Lille office in 2022.

Today, he puts his experience to work for South-West businesses, supporting them on projects with major strategic stakes. "I am very excited about contributing to the development of the South-West office. It is a great collective adventure, in service of a region I know well and care deeply about," he emphasises.

Delville Management, a premium transition management firm, is continuing its international development with the opening of a new office in Madrid. This strategic move aims to support Spanish, Franco-Spanish and international companies in addressing their transformation challenges. The office is led by Eric Selva, an experienced executive with deep roots in the Spanish business community and extensive knowledge of transition management. He is joined in this venture by Eric Audoin, the firm's Head of International Development.Contact our Spain office

A market in the making, with real momentum already

Long overlooked, transition management in Spain is gaining ground. The market is growing at 12–15% per year, driven by rising demand linked to restructuring, transformation and external growth operations.

"In just a few months, we have been approached for needs in finance transition management, HR, transformation and IT," notes Eric Selva. "These requests come from organisations looking for effective solutions that can quickly deliver tangible impact."

The challenge, however, remains one of education: making the case for the value of a transition manager. "A leadership gap isn't immediately visible… but you pay the price six months later. Our role is to act quickly and in a structured way to prevent that from happening."

Delville Management's expertise: proximity, responsiveness, excellence

As in each of its offices, Delville Management applies a proven engagement model in Madrid: every assignment is handled by a dedicated pair — a mission director with sector expertise and a local representative embedded in the territory. In Madrid, that local representative is Eric Selva, with his in-depth knowledge of the Spanish business landscape.

This approach ensures a dual fit — professional and cultural — while enabling swift action through a strong local presence and an already operational network on the ground.

"We deploy in under 72 hours, with immediately operational profiles," says Patrick Abadie, Founder and Chairman. "What we bring to Spain is a rare combination: a structured approach to transition management and a thorough understanding of local dynamics."

A new milestone in international development

With Madrid, Delville Management strengthens its European footprint. The firm is now present in ten cities: Paris, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Strasbourg, London, Düsseldorf, Milan and Madrid. A network designed to ensure proximity, quality and responsiveness across all assignments.

But Spain is more than a dynamic market of 48 million people. It is also a natural gateway to Latin America. Several Spanish clients are already engaging Delville Management for assignments extending to Chile, Peru and Argentina. The Madrid office is conceived as a future Euro-Latin hub, attuned to cultural nuances and regional specificities.

For Eric Selva, opening the Madrid office is a strategic choice for Delville Management — but it is also, in his own words, "a homecoming." The grandson of Spanish immigrants, he lived in Spain for more than 20 years and built most of his career there: heading restaurant groups, presiding over a top-division handball club, holding a socios membership at Real Madrid, and serving as Vice President of the French Chamber of Commerce in Madrid for 17 years.

But his ties run deeper than his network: since 2016, Eric has been working as a consultant and transition manager on both sides of the Pyrenees. He has an intimate understanding of clients' needs as well as those of the managers themselves. "I have led, restructured, guided… and I have been a transition manager myself. I know exactly what the people I support are going through."

For those who cross his path, Eric Selva embodies an essential dimension of transition management: the human connection. He speaks readily of the human side of his work — the satisfaction he finds in supporting others, passing on knowledge, opening doors. A commitment that resonates with Delville Management's core belief: putting people at the heart of performance.

What is a Transition Director?

Defining the Transition Director role

The Transition Director (or transition manager) is an experienced senior executive, deployed on a temporary basis to lead a project, drive a transformation, resolve a crisis, or ensure management continuity within an organisation. This professional acts with speed to deliver concrete solutions to urgent and complex challenges, drawing on operational expertise and strong decision-making capability. The assignment is always time-limited but highly strategic: clear and measurable objectives must be met, value must be created in a context of change, and the necessary actions must be implemented quickly. The role is to help the organisation navigate a critical juncture while maintaining management continuity without disruption. The profession is experiencing significant growth in the market, particularly in rapidly evolving environments. This function has become a strategic lever for many companies seeking agility, performance, and security in their transformation or turnaround projects.

What is the difference between a transition manager and an interim director?

The transition manager — of which the Transition Director is a prime example — can operate in a variety of contexts: transformation, project management, crisis management, and also leadership transition management. What sets them apart from an interim director is primarily their external status. They are not integrated into the permanent organisational structure, which allows them to operate with full neutrality, free from internal political pressures. This external positioning gives them considerable freedom of action and the ability to rapidly drive deep-rooted change, even when it is unpopular. Whereas the interim director operates within a logic of continuity, the transition manager is mandated to deliver a measurable impact over a limited period, with a clear obligation to produce results.

What makes an effective Transition Director?

Leadership and rapid decision-making

The Transition Director is a seasoned decision-maker, capable of quickly rallying teams around a shared objective even in an unstable environment. They project natural authority while maintaining constructive dialogue with all stakeholders. Their strength lies in their ability to make swift decisions, while remaining attuned to the operational and human realities of the business.

Adaptability and neutrality

Every assignment takes place in a different environment. That is why an effective transition manager knows how to adapt to the cultural, managerial, and sector-specific characteristics of each company. They maintain a neutral stance, free from internal political agendas, enabling them to take unbiased decisions and defuse conflicts.

Strategic vision and operational execution

The Transition Director combines strategic vision with operational effectiveness. They understand the business challenges, translate them into clear objectives, and implement them methodically. Their role is to turn a vision into tangible results while maintaining rigorous oversight. This dual competence — leadership and execution — makes them a key driver of change.

Cross-sector experience

The diversity of assignments undertaken gives the Transition Director a broad perspective on business challenges. They draw on extensive experience gained across a range of sectors: manufacturing, retail, healthcare, finance, supply chain, and more. This cross-sector versatility fuels their agility, creativity, and ability to propose solutions tailored to each client's needs.

Everything you need to know about the Transition Director

What is the average duration of a Transition Director assignment?

On average, a transition management assignment lasts between 6 and 12 months. Duration may vary depending on the complexity of the project or the objectives to be achieved.

How much does a Transition Director cost?

The daily rate for a Transition Director generally ranges from €1,200 to €2,000 (excl. VAT), depending on the expertise required, the seniority level of the role, the sector, and the length of the assignment.

Can a Transition Director be hired permanently?

Yes, some assignments do lead to a permanent hire. However, the logic of transition management is primarily one of a time-limited engagement, with results expected over a defined period.

What is the difference between a Transition Director and a consultant?

A consultant provides an external perspective and formulates strategic recommendations. The Transition Director, on the other hand, combines this fresh perspective with an immediate capacity to act. They analyse the situation, identify levers for improvement, and implement the necessary decisions themselves. In addition to advising, they take operational leadership of a department or project, manage teams, and ensure that results are delivered on the ground. Their direct involvement and external status allow them to act with neutrality and effectiveness.

How does an assignment with Delville Management work?

Our process begins with a listening and needs-assessment phase. We then select one or more qualified executive profiles, which we present to you within 72 hours. Once a profile is validated, they join your teams within 5 business days. Regular monitoring is maintained throughout the assignment to measure results, adjust actions where needed, and ensure a structured end-of-assignment handover.

Which sectors do you work in?

We operate across a wide range of sectors: legal, finance and consulting, healthcare… Learn more!

With the opening of a transition management office in Milan led by Alessandro Reitelli, Delville Management continues its international expansion. This new office aims to provide local, hands-on support to companies operating in, or looking to establish a presence in, Italy.

Why open an office in Milan?

Milan is a strategic hub for the Italian and European economy. As Italy's financial capital, it is home to numerous international and local companies, and stands out for its dynamism in sectors such as fashion, manufacturing, finance, and luxury goods.

Delville Management has already supported several companies in Milan through their strategic transitions, and the opening of this office marks a step forward in strengthening our on-the-ground service, with a dedicated local team.

This office reflects our commitment to providing current and future clients with transition management solutions tailored to the specificities of the Italian market.

Alessandro Reitelli: an expert at the helm

Alessandro Reitelli, Director of the Milan office, brings over 25 years of experience in senior leadership roles across various sectors internationally. A former CEO for France and Southern Europe at ME Group, he also held a Senior Advisor position at Qualium Investissement for the Italian market. His career has taken him to leadership roles in renewable energy, technology, and services. He has deep expertise in business development, managing complex transitions, and international leadership, having led teams in France, Italy, Denmark, and North Africa.

His experience, combined with an in-depth knowledge of the Italian market, makes him a key asset for Delville Management.

An international model, grounded locally

At Delville Management, transition management firm, we combine specialised sector expertise with a deep understanding of local markets to offer solutions that are tailored and adapted to the regional specificities of our clients.

"Our ambition is to ensure a perfect combination of sector expertise, local market knowledge, and geographical proximity," explains Patrick Abadie. In Milan, this approach is put into practice concretely: every assignment is overseen by Alessandro Reitelli, an expert in the Italian market, alongside a sector practice director specialised in the client company's field of activity.

This partnership model allows us to support companies with a 360-degree view: on one side, sharp expertise in sector-specific challenges, and on the other, a thorough command of local expectations and practices.

Building synergies across our teams

The opening of this office strengthens our network and the synergies between our various teams across Europe.

By fostering exchanges and collaboration, we enhance our ability to rapidly mobilise the skills needed for each assignment, while maintaining consistent quality in the support we provide to clients around the world.

This dynamic is essential for accompanying companies through their strategic projects, whether they involve restructurings, mergers, or organisational transformations.

A closing word: an opening full of promise

"This establishment in Milan marks a new phase in our international development. It enables us to support our clients — both local and European — with the expertise and rigour that define our success. By working closely with our other offices, we are building a unique network of capabilities, ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow." – Patrick Abadie.

The REF 2024 (Rencontre des Entrepreneurs de France 2024), organised by MEDEF, once again proved to be a landmark event for business leaders and economic stakeholders.

Against a backdrop of major global debates, this sixth edition centred on an ambitious theme: Power. A broad subject explored from every angle — from technological innovation and environmental challenges to democratic checks and balances.

Political power: a growing influence

The decision to focus this edition on political power was no coincidence. With an unprecedented number of elections held around the world this year, the ability to act has become a strategic challenge for businesses.

Discussions highlighted how political upheaval directly shapes economic decision-making. Whether in established democracies or illiberal regimes, these shifts are redefining market dynamics and the role of economic actors.

Innovation and technology: the power to transform

The impact of science and technology on society was another major focus of the event. The session entitled "When Science Changes the World" underscored technological advances as drivers of transformation, while raising essential questions about the ethical challenges they bring.

Several prominent figures were in attendance, including Yasmine Belkaid, Director General of the Institut Pasteur, and Sébastien Missoffe, Managing Director of Google France. Their contributions sparked rich and inspiring exchanges on the technological future.

The European economy: navigating transition and competitiveness

The European economy finds itself at a crossroads. Between financing the shift to a green economy and maintaining global competitiveness, the discussions tackled complex questions.

How can this transition be funded while sustaining high levels of innovation? Conversations highlighted the complexity of these challenges amid geopolitical tensions and digital transformation.

Checks and balances and disinformation: a new battleground

The role of checks and balances and the rise of fake news also featured prominently in the debates. In a society where information spreads faster than ever — sometimes at the expense of truth — rethinking regulatory mechanisms has become essential. Speakers explored ways to combat disinformation, particularly through strategies aimed at strengthening democratic resilience.

It is precisely in this shifting landscape that the expertise of a transition management firm comes into its own. In the face of these challenges, having leaders capable of steering organisations with agility and sound judgement can be a decisive advantage. Transition managers, drawing on their extensive experience, can help companies navigate periods of uncertainty and transformation.

An innovative and inspiring REF 2024

Beyond the debates, REF 2024 stood out for its innovative format and convivial atmosphere. A "members' village" allowed participants to build connections, engage with speakers, and discover unexpected initiatives. This edition succeeded in combining substantive reflection with stimulating encounters, offering participants a forward-looking perspective on today's economic challenges.

In conclusion, REF 2024 once again demonstrated its ability to act as a catalyst for thought and action among entrepreneurs. It not only provided a space for dialogue on contemporary challenges but also fostered innovation and collective commitment towards a more resilient and prosperous future.

Nicolas Bouzou will be the special guest at the next Delville Club Breakfast, to be held on 6 September.

At this event, he will share his perspective on the current economic landscape, marked by significant upheaval.

Delville Management, a key player in transition management in France, is opening its capital and welcoming Indigo Capital as a minority partner through an LBO. The transaction, structured by Largillière Finance, marks a turning point in the firm's growth strategy.

A strategic expansion

Since its founding in 2010 by Patrick Abadie, Delville Management has completed more than 1,300 assignments for over 700 clients, primarily mid-sized companies and large corporates. It has established itself as the number two pure-play transition management firm in France. Its team of 60 professionals is spread across Paris, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Strasbourg, London and Munich.

In 2024, the firm is projecting revenues of close to €45 million, with ambitions to double that figure by 2028 through a combination of organic growth and external acquisitions.

This momentum reflects a positive market trend: the transition management sector has grown strongly, with total industry revenues rising from €300 million in 2016 to €800 million in 2023.

Indigo Capital: a partner to support our growth

After reviewing several proposals, Delville Management ultimately chose Indigo Capital as its minority partner to fund the acquisition of future offices in France and internationally.

Indigo Capital stood out for the flexibility and professionalism of its offer. The fund is well-regarded for structuring and arranging mezzanine financing, providing tailored solutions to the businesses in which it invests.

Patrick Abadie, founder and CEO of the firm, commented: "Since founding Delville Management, closeness to our clients and transition managers has always been a central pillar of our strategy. With the support of Indigo Capital, we will be able to accelerate our growth while maintaining that essential proximity."

Laurent Warlop, Stanley de Butler and Fabien Depierre of Indigo Capital said: "We warmly thank Patrick Abadie, Alexandra Cadic, and the entire management team for the trust they have placed in us. Beyond Delville Management's impressive track record since its founding, we were particularly drawn to the human and collective dimension of the project led by Patrick Abadie and his partners. We will be by their side to support Delville Management in its growth and its ambition to consolidate the transition management market, both in France and across Europe."

A trusted partner

This partnership will enable us to strengthen our development strategy in France and internationally, while continuing to deliver high-quality services to our clients.

Thomas Bureau, Managing Director at Largillière Finance, who structured the capital opening transaction for Delville Management, added: "Delville Management has established itself as a reference player in the fast-growing transition management market.

Indigo Capital holds a unique position thanks to its expertise in financial engineering for SMEs and mid-sized companies.

We are delighted to have facilitated this meeting and wish every success to this project." In conclusion, Indigo Capital's entry into our capital represents a major strategic milestone for our transition management firm. This partnership will strengthen our capacity to support clients through their transformations while continuing to develop our position in the transition management market.

Our transition management firm is implementing a strategic reorganisation of its governance, with ambitious objectives to strengthen its sector expertise and expand its local and international presence.

Enhanced sector expertise under the leadership of Christophe Caro

Delville Management is innovating by structuring its practices around sector expertise.

This new approach, led by Christophe Caro, a partner at the firm, brings together specialists focused on specific industries. For instance, we have created dedicated practices in food and agribusiness transition management, life sciences, and B2B services.

Why this reorganisation?

Our goal is twofold: to provide regional proximity while ensuring deep sector expertise. Each client will benefit from support by both a regional expert — familiar with the cultural and economic characteristics of their area — and a sector specialist, capable of addressing the specific challenges of their industry.

This approach, unique in the transition management market, will enable our clients to access solutions perfectly suited to their needs and maximise the relevance of our work.

Christophe Caro explains: "By grouping our experts by sector, we strengthen our ability to understand the specific needs of each client and to propose tailored, effective and innovative solutions."

Stronger regional presence with Philippe Jauffret

Philippe Jauffret, also a partner at the firm, now oversees all of our regional offices (Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Strasbourg).

He also retains leadership of the Lyon office.

Why this closer proximity?

Our territorial network strategy, first deployed in France, has proven its effectiveness in delivering close, personalised support.

This strategy, already well-established in France, was recognised with the Financial Performance Award at the 2024 Trophées des Entrepreneurs, presented by the CRCC — Compagnie Régionale des Commissaires aux Comptes — to entrepreneurs who have demonstrated exceptional performance in terms of growth, profitability and financial efficiency.

Patrick Abadie, founder of Delville Management, notes: "Our strategy is built on acquiring small, human-scale local teams. The goal is to meet a dual requirement: immersing ourselves in regional culture, as close as possible to our clients, while maintaining our high quality standards."

This model is designed to guarantee a personalised service that accounts for each client's specific needs, while ensuring an uncompromising quality of service.

International expansion and Paris office management entrusted to Eric Audoin

Eric Audoin, a partner at the firm, is taking charge of the development of our international offices.

This is an essential step in responding to the growing demand from our clients operating outside France.

Why this expansion?

The London and Düsseldorf offices, opened in 2013 and 2022 respectively, laid the foundations of our international strategy. We now plan to open new offices across Europe, replicating the territorial network model that has driven our success in France.

This strategy enables us to create synergies across our offices. For example, our new Strasbourg office, thanks to its strategic position on the Franco-German border, will strengthen our collaboration with the Düsseldorf office and promote Franco-German business exchanges.

"By developing our international offices, we want to offer our clients local expertise and ensure a personalised, proximity-based service — while upholding our quality standards," explains Eric Audoin.

Conclusion

This reorganisation marks an important milestone in our development, reinforcing our ability to address the specific needs of our clients and guaranteeing a close-knit service that is both regional and sector-specific.

Delville Management positions itself as a leading player in transition management, ready to support its clients through their challenges and to offer tailored, effective and innovative solutions.

Great news for Delville Management: on 1 July 2024, we opened a new transition management office in Strasbourg.

Under the leadership of Pascal Schuster, this strategic location will allow us to serve our clients and support our transition managers across the Eastern region of France.

This opening represents an important milestone in the firm's development, with the ongoing objective of better serving our clients and transition managers by fostering immediate regional proximity.

Why open an office in Strasbourg?

Delville Management has always favoured the establishment of small, human-scale local teams to immerse itself in regional culture and better respond to the needs of local clients and transition managers.

Strasbourg was a natural choice for this new regional anchor at the heart of Eastern France.

The region benefits from a rich industrial heritage and a strategic position on the Franco-German border. The Eastern region is a wealth of opportunities across diverse sectors including automotive, steel, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, transport and logistics. Delville has already carried out a wide range of assignments in these fields (see the full list of our sectors of expertise). With this office, our presence will be more structured and our proximity even greater.

Strengthening the Franco-German axis is also a key objective. Strasbourg facilitates synergies between French and German businesses.

It addresses the specific needs of economic stakeholders on both sides of the border. The connection with our Düsseldorf transition management office will follow naturally.

An ongoing commitment to quality

Strasbourg is our seventh regional office. Pascal Schuster, its director, is supported by sector experts dedicated to meeting our clients' specific needs. Our goal is to deliver the perfect combination of sector expertise, knowledge of the local market, and geographical proximity. This model allows us to offer optimal, tailored solutions.

The close collaboration between our small local teams and our sector experts also aims to maintain a consistently high standard of service across all our existing offices.

With the opening of our Strasbourg office, our transition management firm reaffirms its commitment to delivering a personalised and rigorous service.

A new chapter for Delville Management

The opening of the Strasbourg office represents more than a simple geographic expansion. It marks a new step in fulfilling Delville Management's mission: to be ever closer, more responsive and more attuned to the specific needs of clients and transition managers.

As Pascal Schuster notes: "This new base in Strasbourg is a tremendous opportunity to strengthen our presence in a region full of potential. We continue to deliver the same level of excellence and proximity that defines Delville Management's reputation."

Every new office, every new assignment, is a testament to the renewed trust of our clients and transition managers. Their continued support encourages Delville Management to maintain this quality of service and stay true to its values. This territorial network strategy — made possible by that trust — is at the heart of everything Delville Management does.

From 2017 to 2018, Pascal served as CEO of SPIE Est. In 2019, he participated in the takeover of a German industrial group and became its president in 2020, before joining the Delville Management team.

At Delville Management, a firm specialising in transition management, we work every day to contribute to a better society. We firmly believe that placing people at the heart of change and fostering collective participation are essential to navigating transitions successfully.

With this in mind, we have revised our employee share ownership policy. For the past year, Delville Management employees with more than two years' tenure have been able to invest in the firm's capital.

This initiative reflects our deep commitment to value sharing and the recognition of every team member's contribution. It also underlines our determination to promote responsible growth.

Inclusivity at the heart of our share ownership policy

Delville Management now counts 16 partners — nine more than at the start of 2023. This evolution reflects the growth and diversity of our firm, and illustrates our ongoing commitment to integrating and developing talent within our structure.

Discover the profiles of all partners at our transition management firm: Patrick Abadie, Eric Audoin, Olivier Barbry, Carole Baujard, Jean Baptiste Bouyer, Christophe Caro, Alexandra Cadic, Alienor de Coutard, Yves Goullioud, Philippe Jauffret, Romain Lussiez, Jean Yves Marrec, Alexandre Michalowski, Delphine Phillipe, Carine Paul, Gaelle Rembauville.

The introduction of employee share ownership at Delville Management allows employees of all generations to become shareholders.

Romain Lussiez, who became a partner at the age of 25, is a striking example. His journey demonstrates that there is no age barrier to being recognised and contributing to the firm's success — a testament to our commitment to creating equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of age or seniority.

An aspiration towards a shared and responsible future

Our employee share ownership model embodies a vision in which everyone contributes to a common goal.

We hope this model will encourage greater recognition of our efforts towards equity and transparency — core values of the firm in its relationships with employees, clients, and transition managers alike.

Our ambition is to make continuous progress in this direction, with every step bringing us closer to a future where success is truly shared.

Our commitment to sustainable development is also reflected in our participation in other initiatives. For example, we help organise Climate Fresk workshops, which aim to help transition managers understand and take action on climate issues.

In parallel, we launched our series on Radio Classique, hosted by Fabrice Lundy, dedicated to the stories of companies making a difference in terms of CSR success.

These initiatives, combined with our share ownership policy, illustrate our broader commitment to building a more ethical and responsible business.

Commitment through share ownership at Delville Management

Employee share ownership at our transition management firm is not simply a policy — it is an affirmation of our values. It is a commitment to a future in which every team member is a stakeholder in the firm's success.

By promoting value sharing at every level, we are building a strong, open corporate culture — one that is resolutely focused on the future.

Delville Management has been ranked the number one must-know transition management firm for restructuring, in the "Restructuring & Distressed Companies" category of the Strategy, Reorganisation & Restructuring 2024 guide published by Leaders League.

What is restructuring?

Restructuring is an essential practice for supporting companies in difficulty or undergoing a period of crisis. In such situations, transition managers who specialise in turnaround and recovery are mobilised to identify underlying problems and address them. Their objective is to implement measures designed to restore profitability and long-term viability to client organisations.

At Delville Management, our transition managers are experts in crisis management.

True leaders, they rally teams around shared objectives. Their ability to maintain productive relationships with all stakeholders involved in a company turnaround is essential to the success of their restructuring plans.

Our transition management firm selects transition managers who are familiar with the client company's sector and who have prior turnaround experience — enabling them to implement swift and effective measures in response to a crisis situation.

The restructuring process begins with a thorough analysis of the company, assessing past performance, current challenges, and future opportunities.

Our turnaround transition managers then develop action plans, which may include cost reduction, internal reorganisation, or the identification of new markets.

They oversee implementation, ensuring effective crisis communication with all stakeholders, while also embedding organisational change to ensure a smooth transition.

The Club Delville brings together 540 senior decision-makers and executives from all sectors of activity.

It shares the values of Delville Management and provides a welcoming, collegial environment for the exchange of ideas.

Arnaud Montebourg found in it a platform to champion his commitment to industrial resilience and the "Made in France" cause.

Arnaud Montebourg's vision: reindustrialisation and job retention in France

In his address, Mr Montebourg stressed the importance of economic patriotism and national reconstruction.

He called for collective responsibility to stimulate investment in domestic industry and preserve jobs in the sector.

Reflecting on his political career, Mr Montebourg discussed the challenges faced by industrial companies in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

He drew a comparison between the French response and that of Germany, which managed to protect its industrial fabric through measures such as short-time working schemes.

Through these examples, Arnaud Montebourg underscored the need to safeguard French industrial companies even when they are in difficulty.

In his view, these companies are often affected by the economic climate rather than by poor strategic management.

He warned that allowing our industrial base to continue deteriorating will lead to an excessive dependence on imports.

Successes and setbacks: Arnaud Montebourg confronting the obstacles to reindustrialisation

In his address, Arnaud Montebourg spoke candidly about the successes and failures he encountered during his political career in pursuit of France's reindustrialisation.

Among his achievements, he highlighted the establishment of Regional Commissioners for Productive Recovery, tasked with rescuing companies in difficulty.

He explained how PSA, which was facing bankruptcy, was saved through a partial nationalisation of the group, leading to a dilution of the Peugeot family's stake to bring in Chinese investors.

The former minister also recalled notable failures, including the ArcelorMittal and Alstom cases, where, despite his efforts, foreign interests and political pressures thwarted his actions.

He expressed his frustration at the resistance of certain political actors in delivering on electoral commitments and defending national interests.

Ultimately, through these examples, Mr Montebourg shed light on the difficulties of protecting national interests against economic and political pressures, particularly in a context of globalisation and foreign influence.

He reminded us all that "France belongs to those who make it — that is, to each of its constituent parts — and that we all hold a share of the power to act, different according to who we are, our history, our geography, our social and economic position."

Beyond politics: Arnaud Montebourg continues his fight for reindustrialisation

"What is France? Liberty, equality, fraternity. First, liberty. Want to be free? Then produce for yourselves what you need, rather than buying from others — their products, their patents, their way of life. Do you want to be enslaved to the Chinese?" declares Arnaud Montebourg.

Having left political life and the role of minister, Arnaud Montebourg became an entrepreneur and chose to continue his fight for "Made in France" by launching or participating in various businesses: Alfeor, Lithium de France, Ferromobile, and others. In his address, he expressed his opposition to the importation of cheap goods from China. In his view, industrial self-sufficiency and a reindustrialisation of France could generate a 5-point increase in GDP.

In short, Arnaud Montebourg embodies determination and passion for the preservation of national industry, defying economic and political pressures in pursuit of a prosperous future for France.

How Delville Management's actions reflect Arnaud Montebourg's commitment

Delville Management, an expert in proximity-based transition management, takes a proactive approach similar to that of Arnaud Montebourg in supporting companies facing difficulties.

To this end, our transition management firm specialises in rapidly placing expert senior executives within companies to help them overcome their challenges. These transition managers can be deployed, in particular, to:

• carry out a company turnaround and implement a crisis management plan;
• provide leadership transition management following an abrupt departure that puts the company at risk;
• manage complex projects that existing teams are ill-equipped to handle;
• act as a change management consultancy (restructuring work organisation, introducing new management practices, etc.)

Arnaud Montebourg's commitment therefore finds a clear echo in Delville Management's mission to support companies on their path towards a more favourable future.

We are delighted to announce that Delville Management has successfully maintained its EcoVadis Silver certification level in 2024, reaffirming its ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR).

CSR Commitment at Delville Management

At Delville Management, we firmly believe in integrating corporate social responsibility into all of our activities.

This belief is reflected in our core values: team spirit, transparency, commitment, care, and boldness.

Our CSR initiatives are also demonstrated through value sharing, which allows every employee who has been with the firm for more than two years to become a shareholder.

Our commitment to CSR is expressed through concrete actions aimed at having a positive impact on our environment, our stakeholders, and society as a whole.

Significant First Steps in CSR: France Transition Certification

In 2021, we joined France Transition, the federation of transition management professionals. This marked the beginning of an ongoing commitment to applying best practices in transition management to the best of our ability. Thanks to the dedication of our teams and a rigorous audit process conducted by Bureau Veritas, we obtained the "Transition Management" label.

This label guarantees compliance with high standards in terms of professional ethics, practitioner competence, and quality of service.

A Lasting Commitment Recognised by EcoVadis Assessments

EcoVadis is a leading reference for CSR performance assessments. Delville Management now ranks in the top 15% of companies assessed by this organisation. With an overall score of 65/100, Delville Management recorded an increase of 8 points compared to the previous year. This improvement was driven in particular by higher scores in responsible procurement and respect for human and social rights. This recognition highlights our commitment to sustainable and ethical business practices.

The renewal of the EcoVadis Silver certification in 2024 by our transition management firm is based on several certified criteria. These include compliance with professional ethics, guaranteed practitioner competence, strict adherence to labour legislation, and clear, appropriate contractual formalisation of relationships between parties. They also include tailored service delivery and ongoing monitoring of service quality based on client satisfaction.

Pioneers of Tomorrow: Our CSR Roadmap

In conclusion, the renewal of our EcoVadis Silver certification and our "Transition Management" label from France Transition reflect our unwavering commitment to CSR. We will continue to work towards improving our practices in pursuit of a sustainable and prosperous future, in partnership with our clients, our transition managers, and all our stakeholders.

Monseigneur Olivier Ribadeau Dumas shares his account of the Notre-Dame de Paris reconstruction project.

Portrait of Monseigneur Olivier Ribadeau Dumas:

Monseigneur Olivier Ribadeau Dumas has held several positions of responsibility, notably as rector of the sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Lourdes since 2019. Prior to that, he served as secretary general and spokesperson for the French Bishops' Conference. He also served as emeritus titular canon of the Diocese of Paris and episcopal vicar to the Archbishop of Paris. In September 2022, he took up his role as rector-archpriest of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Upon taking up his duties as archpriest of Notre-Dame de Paris in September 2022, Monseigneur Olivier Ribadeau Dumas immediately met with the workers on the cathedral's construction site. This significant encounter marked his very first days in the role.

Four years after the fire of 15 April 2019, which partially destroyed Notre-Dame de Paris, where does the restoration stand?

This is what Monseigneur Olivier Ribadeau Dumas will share at our Club Delville event scheduled for 28 November, hosted by our transition management firm.

The structural stabilisation and consolidation works on the cathedral were completed in the summer of 2021. Once this critical phase was finished, the first stage of vault restoration began with the extraction of stone from a quarry in the Oise region.

• The great roof timber frame, destroyed by the fire, is being rebuilt in solid oak following the original medieval design. At the same time, the first roof trusses for the choir were raised in August 2021.

• The spire, which collapsed during the fire, will be restored to its original appearance following Viollet-le-Duc's 19th-century design. The cutting of the 1,000 oak trees required for its reconstruction is being completed across 45 sawmills throughout France.

• The great organ, damaged by soot and water, is currently being cleaned and restored in three organ-building workshops. Its 8,000 pipes and 19 wind chests will be reinstalled in the cathedral in 2023.

• Wall paintings, sculptures, stained glass windows and other interior decorative elements will also be restored by specialist craftspeople. Works are expected to be completed in 2024, ahead of a planned reopening on 8 December of the same year.

With the cathedral now fully secured, the major reconstruction works are under way, with the restoration of the spire as the centrepiece.

Club Delville under the patronage of Monseigneur Olivier Ribadeau Dumas and Sylvie Bretones

Monseigneur Olivier Ribadeau Dumas, joined by Sylvie Bretones, General Delegate of the Fondation Notre Dame, will honour us with their presence. Together, they will share the latest progress on the historic Notre-Dame de Paris restoration project and the interior design projects presented this summer. They will also reflect on the global wave of solidarity sparked by the cathedral fire. Do not miss this rare and unique opportunity! As a committed transition management firm, we are proud to host the exceptional visit of Monseigneur Olivier Ribadeau Dumas.

What is the story behind the Delville Academy?

The Delville Academy was born out of several observations:

• The Club Delville is a network of more than 500 decision-makers.

Club Delville members are entrepreneurs, transition managers, economists, coaches, lawyers, auditors, investment funds and clients of Delville Management.

It is therefore a unique ecosystem whose most represented roles include: CEO, Finance Director, HR Director, CIO, Supply Chain Director…

• Some Club Delville members express a desire to share their expertise, while others wish to upskill on a variety of topical and economic subjects.
• A convergence of interests within the Club Delville became self-evident: the Delville Academy was born.

What is the Delville Academy?

The Delville Academy's purpose is to facilitate the sharing of interests among Club Delville network members through themed sessions, delivered 100% digitally every three weeks.

More specifically, it enables participants to stay up to date on new regulations across multiple areas of expertise; to explore key industrial, economic and social challenges; and to learn about major innovations set to transform the industries and services of tomorrow.

Who is the Delville Academy for?

• It is aimed at our entire network, as well as anyone curious about business news, the corporate world or innovation.
• Whether you are an entrepreneur, a business leader, a transition manager, a senior executive, an investment fund, a lawyer, a legal professional or a coach (…): anyone with a desire to learn is welcome!

What is the format of the Delville Academy?

• It is offered in an e-learning format, enabling our national network to benefit from the knowledge-sharing we provide with the help of expert contributors.
• It is an interactive format that gives participants the opportunity to ask questions of the experts leading each session, at the end of each presentation.
• Sessions are designed to last approximately 45 minutes.

Who are the contributors?

Delville Academy sessions are led by Club Delville members and transition managers on assignment for our transition management firm.

They are experts in their field who wish to share and pass on their knowledge to their peers.

Sessions are defined collaboratively and co-created with Delville Management staff.

The structure of contributions is organised around the values intrinsic to Delville Management: sharing, collaborative work and conviviality!
