Why I joined CEPTON


After graduating from ESSEC Business School and following several experiences in large companies and an internship in management consulting, I understood I wanted to work in a strategy consulting firm. Why join CEPTON? For several reasons: a focus on strategic projects, a specialization in a fast-growing sector – the health industry – and a small structure which I was looking for.

Life at CEPTON


As soon as I joined CEPTON, I valued the working atmosphere, organized around little hierarchy, where you can rely on everyone and with real interactions with Partners. Besides, I was quickly contributing and responsible of projects with high stakes, in direct contact with clients’ Top Management. This enabled me to quickly progress internally and manage teams of highly skilled consultants, with various profiles.


During my 5 years at CEPTON, I saw the firm grow and strengthen its reputation within the healthcare industry. We now have more clients, more diversified projects and at a larger scale. This was also an opportunity for me to participate actively in the development of the firm, organizing the recruitment and integration of consultants and working on ways to improve our internal processes.


These efforts to support CEPTON’s development were rewarding, with recognition by both our clients and the industry and through the constitution of a close team sharing common values.

Why I joined CEPTON


At the end of my studies, I was determined to work in the field of biotechnologies and healthcare, and I chose CEPTON for my end-of-studies internship in order to learn more about the healthcare sector.
Consulting, through the variety of missions and challenges encountered, was an excellent way to get a first overall view of the health industry and its stakes.

Life at CEPTON


As an intern, I had the opportunity to work on diversified, high-stakes missions, which was both very stimulating and highly formative. As soon as my internship began, I was fully participating to the firm’s missions, with increasing responsibilities as I was progressing.


One mission particularly interested me. The aim was to establish a strategic plan for a pharmaceutical laboratory which was facing a major change in regulation. It was an exciting and challenging work since we had to take into account all the different aspects of our client’s business (regulation, science, business, strategy…) to transform its activities in depth. On my side, I first conducted documentary research and interviews with healthcare professionals or industrials so as to better understand the market and our client’s position. As a second step I helped define our client’s future business model through workshops with the client’s team. Finally, I took over the redaction of a part of the final report. In the end, our client did implement the strategy we had recommended. It was very rewarding and stimulating to realize the impact of our job.


On another note, at CEPTON I found not only high intellectual requirements but also a mindful management and a welcoming and warm team spirit. It is a great work environment!

Why I joined CEPTON


After graduating from ESSEC Business School, I decided to join CEPTON for multiple reasons: working directly with experienced partners, diversity of projects, and the strong empowerment given to consultants. We work in small teams, but the quality standards are extremely high, at the same level as the big international consultancies.

Life at CEPTON


Even during the first weeks of my time at CEPTON, I was engaged directly with clients and I could interact with managers and executives of large companies of the automobile and pharma industries.


During these seven years spent at CEPTON, I worked on really interesting and diverse topics. I developed a good understanding of the pharmaceutical industry while touching also on other sectors. Every project has been for me an intense learning experience, both from an industry and from a consulting perspective. I could also significantly improve my communication and interpersonal skills.


Another important point is that CEPTON is a small, growing company with an entrepreneurial mentality, where your leadership is encouraged. As a consultant at CEPTON, you are not only in charge of projects, but you are also working to develop the company.

Why I joined CEPTON


After graduating from a master’s degree in Physics from the ENS Lyon and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, I have decided to leave academia and to join a boutique management consulting firm.

Life at CEPTON


Joining Cepton has quickly become an obvious choice. The way Cepton works is closed to what you can find in academia as it is a human-size company. There is little hierarchy and consultants are quickly empowered and interact directly with client’s top management. Other key factors in the choice of Cepton were the growth of the company and its reputation among the top French consulting firms in the Healthcare sector.
