François Deneux

Francois is a Partner at Arthur D. Little in France, based in Paris, serving clients in the fields of strategy, organization, change management / transformation and due diligences. 

His activity focuses first and foremost on the field of healthcare and life science (pharmaceutical labs, biotech, hospital and private equity funds).

François has developed a genuine interest in startups. He works on a regular basis with small companies (business models identification, business plan, growth strategy …) and clusters .

He is a co-author of “Incubators of the world” (Pearson 2010) which explores how new ideas can be transformed into successful businesses through the nurturing of business incubators. 

François is also the co-founder of two biotech companies, one aiming at producing recombining proteins in the milk of female rabbits and the second developing a non-viral vector for gene therapy targeting kidney cancer.

François is fond of sports and especially of rugby which he played for several years.

Postal operators: The need for transformation and corresponding strategic moves
Postal operators: The need for transformation and corresponding strategic moves
From the first horse-drawn couriers to drone delivery via creating the “penny black” stamp, the automation of sorting, and so on, postal operators (“posts”) have always adapted. Moreover, given their public service spirit, they have shown great resilience to unforeseen obstacles. This explains their longevity. But digitalization of the economy is changing the context of posts — in a positive way as e-commerce increases but negatively as mail and retail networks use declines.
The Future of Healthcare
Unprecedented changes are ahead of us: artificial intelligence, the internet of things, big data, and social and commercial networks are radically changing the way we live and do business, and the impact of these changes will go above and beyond the 1990s experiments with the “dot-com” wave.
