Thibault is a Principal in Oliver Wyman’s Paris office where he supports consumer, industrial, and services companies’ leadership teams to enhance their operational performance. A qualified industrial engineer, Thibault started his career in supply chain consulting boutiques. He then joined a global car manufacturer, where he held various management positions in supply chain and procurement for over a decade.
Transitioning from working on the industry side to strategy consulting was definitely a leap. But this experience taught me to thrive at a pace I could not have even imagined. Nowadays I work with a broad variety of clients and each has their own unique set of challenges. I’m a firm believer in continuous learning and enhancing my own skill set, so I can pass on this rich knowledge and experience.
From automotive, to rail, and satellites, one of Thibault’s key focus areas is cost transformation. His work involves helping clients to build a comprehensive diagnosis of the current state against best-in-class practices and challenges derived from a moving environment. This allows him to engage with teams to design and implement robust performance plans and revisit operating models.
