Analyst (Internship) - Jan '24

About Descartes & Mauss
If there is one thing we learnt in the last couple of years is that disruption is the new normal. Anticipation and preparedness are more critical than ever for companies to thrive in uncertainty. To do so, businesses don’t need more data; they need to make sense of the data. Leaders need strategic foresight to make smart decisions today that will make them ready tomorrow.

Descartes & Mauss is a StraTech, a new breed of AI-powered growth consulting firm. Founded in 2021, D&M models the future to build critical paths for companies to find growth and resilience. By combining advanced data modelling capabilities with a creative methodology rooted in social sciences, D&M de-risks decision-making and gives managers back their capacity to act.

Within less than a year, we are already working with market leaders in beauty, food, apparel and automotive industries at C-Suite level. We have a projected triple digit growth over the next 12 months and we plan a rapid international development with offices in London and NYC by the end of 2023.

Our AI-based platform has already been selected by BPI (a bank for entrepreneurs) to enter one of its programs funding disrupting technologies. We’re very proud of it!

Our founder and CEO has 15 years of experience in AI and strategy consulting, having started his career at Mckinsey. He is supported by seasoned advisors and successful entrepreneurs and alumni from top academic institutions such as Ecole Polytechnique, Sciences Po and Columbia University.
