Who we are
An independent, human-scale firm
APEXY Consulting is an independent, human-scale firm specialising in strategy, transformation and structuring — based in Paris with a permanent presence in Abidjan since 2023.
The name APEXY
APEXY comes from apex — the summit, the highest point. Our commitment: take each organisation to its apex, its highest level of performance, and keep it there.
From vision to transformation
We connect course and field: from the owner’s vision and strategy through to organisation, systems and tangible results — with no break between decision and execution.
Vision & stratégie → Feuille de route → Transformation & exécution → Performance durable
Our values
Pragmatic
Applicable, measurable solutions, designed to be executed.
Context-fit
Every engagement is calibrated to the market, the sector and the maturity of the organisation.
Efficient
The greatest impact at the lowest cost — the right engagement, no more, no less.
Leadership
A partner to the leadership, not just another consultant.
Leadership
The firm is led by Joël Da Piedade (EMBA, engineer in systems, networks & telecoms), Programme Director and CIO Advisor. 20 years of international experience across Europe and West Africa — a path forged in consulting (ex-Devoteam), then leading critical IT transformation programmes.

“A high-level strategist and incredibly adaptable. Having Joël in a team increases the probability of a transformation’s success.”

Independence & ethics
Independent judgement, absolute confidentiality and the client’s interest first guide every engagement we take on.
