Why I joined

The three main criteria for joining Estin & Co were:

  • Devoting 100% of my time to strategic issues as I wanted to gain a deep knowledge and understanding of business fundamentals in a variety of sectors.
  • Working in an international environment, for global clients in global markets, with colleagues from different cultures and backgrounds.
  • Being exposed to the main decisions makers within the clients' organisation.

At Estin & Co, I was given the opportunity to fulfil those three objectives on my very first case, and on every case since then.

Life at the firm

At Estin & Co, a short hierarchy and "boutique" business model are a unique combination that creates a great environment for both personal intellectual development and friendly relationships with colleagues both inside and outside the office.

Every consultant gets a chance to defend their own opinion on the case and to learn from more senior colleagues, which is facilitated by the fact that teams are quite small and consultants and managers work directly with senior Vice Presidents on the cases.And even if work can be tough, as high quality work is required under all circumstances, once the hard work is done, we all get a chance to relax afterwards at post-project dinners and team drinks.

The daily job

At Estin & Co, we are exposed to the main decision makers within our clients' organisations. Our main value depends on our capability to answer their specific questions by providing them with clear options for action based on strong reasoning and solid analysis.

Therefore, our daily job consists in building such analyses and reasonings by integrating, in a consistent and quantitative manner, inputs from clients and competitors (raw data and statistics, face-to-face interviews) and our vision of economic and financial implications. Discussions with clients on those implications then close the loop.

There is no segmentation of specialisations; every consultant is (and remains) a generalist and may work through a short period of time on a wide range of business sectors: from utilities to luxury goods…
