Emathea

Emathea is a company founded by Jesse Bichet that combines two roles: agent de dirigeants and executive recrutement. Its founding premise is that professional sport has always had agents while the business world had none, and that leaders should equally be supported in managing their own trajectory, which is why Bichet created the role of agent de dirigeants. The company argues that the professional world is changing profoundly and that some leaders have already understood that their trajectory has to be steered with strategy. It offers three things. Agent de dirigeants is a year-round strategic accompaniment with a bootcamp, for leaders who want to take control of their trajectory. Executive recrutement is the recruitment of company leaders with an agent's approach, which the company defines as interpreting rather than simply analysing. The Podcast Hors Normes is a media offering aimed at boosting the personal brand of the leader and that of their company.

Emathea works with senior leaders across industries rather than a single vertical. The people quoted on the site include a senior vice president in the pharmaceutical industry based in Paris, a CEO in the entertainment industry based in Milan, and the president of La Manufacture des Process in the manufacturing industry, with experience across the automotive, electrical equipment and furniture sectors, based in Ile-de-France.

The company works in French and English and lists both French and Spanish telephone lines, +33 6 28 03 48 79 and +34 655 438 653, with contact through [email protected]. Its toolkit is set out as artificial intelligence, on the stated basis that being complementary to AI is something that has to be learned, Notion monitoring, and more than 200 activatable contacts. Its position is summed up in the line that a leader's performance is no longer measured only by what they accomplish inside their company, but by their capacity to anticipate their own trajectory. Clients describe Jesse as a sparring partner every leader should have close by, someone who confronts them with situations with poise, lucidity and objectivity while finely understanding the emotional and strategic stakes of leadership, and who helps put meaning, accuracy and confidence back into their decisions. Emathea also runs a newsletter on leadership trends and maintains LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram profiles.
