05 · They say it better than I do

What the people
I've worked with say

Benoît is someone you can trust, and his advice is always sound. Visionary and pragmatic, he keeps an excellent watch on trends and turns it into strategic direction, especially for the company he works with. I highly recommend Benoît for his skills, and for the interpersonal qualities I appreciate enormously.

Benoît led many strategic projects at Laboratoires Urgo. Despite their complexity, he managed them very well, with rigor and diplomacy, always results-oriented. Curious and sociable, he collaborated with great ease with other departments in a matrix organization. A true pleasure to work with him.

06 · The real question

What you gain
vs what you invest

3-10×
Return on investment

The multiple observed on transformation and performance missions: quick wins, synergies, revenue growth.

1
One senior. Not an army.

Senior expertise (ex-Oliver Wyman, 15 years in executive committees) and the perspective of an entrepreneur who runs his own businesses. Not 3-4 juniors billed at premium rates.

Wks
First results within weeks

A structured PMO and quick wins within the first months: +€100k in savings, +25% revenue, +€500k in identified gains.

An equivalent engagement at a major consulting firm typically costs 3 to 5 times more, with less senior attention on your case.

07 · Investment

Simple, transparent, no surprises

Indicative daily rate: €1,500 (excl. VAT). Most engagements are delivered on a fixed-fee basis, defined by scope and stakes. Detailed proposal within 48 hours. No hidden overhead costs.

Audit / Diagnosis

09 · Who you'll work with

Benoît Mahmoudi

A graduate of ESCP Europe (strategy & finance), strategy consultant at Oliver Wyman, then a real management track: Cegid (CEO Office), a Generali subsidiary (Head of Development & Strategy), Laboratoires Urgo (Executive Management).

An independent consultant since 2018, I founded Movari Conseil in 2020 to support CEOs and investors on strategy, transformation and performance.

I'm also an entrepreneur: owner and manager of Château Saint Louis, an organic wine estate of the Fronton appellation, and president of UNIDADE, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu club with 400+ members. Running my own businesses gives me what pure consultants lack: I know what a decision really costs.

I combine analytical rigor with hands-on pragmatism: the best strategy is one that can be explained simply and executed with energy.
