The members of the firm share a common approach to their work and collaborate closely.
Exanter consists of an experienced and agile senior team, ensuring personalized and responsive support for your organization.
Guillaume served as chief of staff and advisor to several prominent political figures before joining a recruitment firm as a consulting director, where he developed talent recruitment for the private sector.
At the end of 2022, he answered the call of entrepreneurship to co-found Exanter and put the combination of his expertise and experiences at the service of business executives and leaders.
"Creating Exanter was the best way to provide executives and leaders with a holistic and complete toolbox to support their development.
We master both business diplomacy and the intricacies of the public and private sectors. And we carefully leverage our unique and hybrid network. This allows us to facilitate constructive dialogues between actors across inherently different sectors - economic, political,and legal.
We also take great pride in supporting our clients by using a comprehensive and thorough approach: we provide strategic-level advice, but we like to roll up our sleeves and apply this advice in a very concrete way. Our ambition is to expand Exanter on a European and international level in order to further support the growth and success of our clients.
Personally, I’m particularly motivated by two key aspects: on the one hand, seeing that we contribute to the development of companies and start-ups on a daily basis. On the other hand, being able to ground our work in a spirit of exchange and transmission."
A former advisor and chief of staff to prominent national political figures, Jean also served as a chief of staff at CMA CGM before joining a recruitment firm as a consulting director.
At the end of 2022, he co-founded Exanter in order to mobilise all of his expertise in service of his clients.
"Exanter was founded under one key guiding principle: the value of relationship-building is central to our approach, and this is what sets us apart in our industry. We are above all experts in a specific method - one acquired from working at the highest levels of public sector executive offices and cabinets: knowing how to recruit the right person who corresponds to specific needs, making connections across ecosystems, and moving projects forward. But in order for this to lead to success, tailor-made strategies are needed. These strategies must involve dialogue and meaningful connections. We therefore offer an approach that is a mix between methodological rigor, subject-matter expertise, relational intelligence and relationship-building.
I like to say that at Exanter, we don't have PowerPoint, but we have ideas! We are also passionate about innovation and agility, and we strive to integrate innovative strategies in everything we do. Moreover, recruiting high-level collaborators has been a wonderful discovery for me. Helping to create the conditions for the development and growth of a company to coincide with the personal and professional growth and development of its top executives is a very rewarding experience. Sharing the passion I have for my work with our team and our clients is equally stimulating and rewarding."
After an initial experience at the French National Assembly, Emile joined the RATP (Paris Public Transport Operator) to work on parliamentary influence.
He then joined Exanter to put his knowledge of public institutions at the service of entrepreneurial dynamics.
"The Exanter approach is built on our ability to leverage our networks and institutional insight for our clients across various scales of influence and business sectors. This intellectual agility drives us, creates our value, and allows us to reinvent ourselves every day.
We believe that public affairs must be approached pragmatically and straight to the point to deliver tangible economic results. Being able to measure the value of the doors we open gives purpose to our mission and strengthens our relationships with the executives we support.
Beyond our influence work, recruiting talent is also grounded in reality: ultimately, careers and daily lives evolve, and companies grow stronger through our work."
Fabien worked in consulting firms and think tanks, where he developed a passion for project management and human relations. In 2026, driven by the conviction that economic impact also depends on dialogue with the public sphere, he decided to take a new direction.
He joined Exanter to apply this dual expertise to supporting organizations and their leaders.
"What brought me to Exanter is the belief that the success of a collective and its leader happens at the crossroads of several worlds: the economic, the public, and the human.
My background taught me to navigate different spheres to decode complex challenges and translate them into concrete actions. Above all, it confirmed an obvious truth: the quality of support depends first and foremost on the quality of the relationships built with key stakeholders.
Joining Exanter means being able to deploy this approach within a human-sized, demanding, and creative firm, where every strategic consulting or recruitment project is handled with the same drive to go all the way."
