Discuss your project Our approach

Our model

A firm that steers its assignments, not a matchmaking platform

The Core Team assembles and steers

Our Core Team takes in your request, identifies your challenges and assembles the team. It stays alongside you throughout the assignment: scoping, coordinating the Pointures, tracking deliverables and results. You have a single point of contact, from the brief to the end of the assignment.

A collective of 100 independent, executive-level Pointures

The Pointures form a collective of independent consultants and experts with highly varied backgrounds, all at executive level. Every one of them has worked inside companies, in roles that were both strategic and operational. We bring them in individually or as a team, depending on your needs, across our three pillars of expertise.

Our story

A firm founded in 2019 by a business leader

Why Les Pointures

Astrid Boutaud founded Les Pointures in 2019, after more than 20 years at Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Sanofi and Ogilvy, where she led transformations on executive committees. Her conviction: a transformation succeeds when strategy is grounded in the human and operational reality of the business. Hence a more flexible, genuinely tailor-made model that brings together, for each assignment, the best experts in their field.

The firm today

Based at 34 rue Laffitte in Paris since October 2024, the firm brings together a Core Team and a collective of 100 Pointures. It works with more than 40 loyal clients across some ten sectors, with an average of 4.2 assignments per client. It is a member of Syntec Conseil and its training programmes are Qualiopi-certified.

These complementary experiences led her to drive organisational transformation from within executive committees. Her clear, precise reading of client challenges and of the value partners can bring them led her to create Les Pointures, to support companies with a constant focus on creating value.

“The Pointures who work alongside us are skilled, well-regarded people who solve every challenge in their own way.”
