NovaLink Consulting connects ambitious organisations to the strategies, structures, and capabilities they need to navigate complexity and emerge stronger. Based in Lyon, trusted across Europe.

Six specialised consulting practices — each led by partners who have spent decades operating in the disciplines they now advise on.
Guide organisations through transformation with structured change programmes that bring people along — not just processes. From cultural shifts to post-merger integration, we make change stick.
End-to-end M&A advisory from target identification through post-merger integration. We have supported €4.2B in transaction value across 30+ deals.
Build a sustainability strategy that is genuine, measurable, and commercially advantageous. ESG reporting, carbon strategy, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory compliance.
Design organisations that attract, develop, and retain the people who make strategy happen. From org redesign to leadership development to workforce planning.
Build supply chains that are resilient, efficient, and sustainable. Network design, procurement strategy, demand planning, and logistics optimisation for a volatile world.
Strengthen board effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and decision-making frameworks. For companies preparing for IPO, navigating regulation, or simply wanting to govern better.



Four phases that connect diagnosis to lasting impact. No phase ends without a tangible deliverable you own.
Deep immersion through stakeholder interviews, data analysis, site visits, and market research. We build understanding before building recommendations. Deliverable: diagnostic findings with prioritised themes.
Strategic architecture — the roadmap from current state to target state with clear milestones, resource plans, risk factors, and success metrics. Deliverable: board-ready strategy and 100-day plan.
Hands-on implementation alongside your teams. Weekly progress reviews, rapid iteration, and real-time course correction. We are builders, not advisors who leave before the hard work starts. Deliverable: working systems and measured early wins.
Sustainability audit, knowledge transfer, and capability building so results persist after we exit. Deliverable: performance dashboard, sustainability playbook, and handover documentation.
"NovaLink delivered €340M in post-merger synergies — 15% above the deal thesis target. Their integration methodology is the most disciplined I have seen. They start planning before the deal closes and that makes all the difference."
"We needed to cut supply chain costs without compromising quality or delivery times. NovaLink found a 37% reduction through network redesign and procurement strategy — without a single factory closure. Remarkable work."
"From governance assessment to IPO readiness in four months. NovaLink built the board structures, committee charters, and compliance frameworks that gave our investors and regulators complete confidence. We listed on schedule."
Let us show you the path. First conversation is always complimentary.
