Insight Connect

Insight Connect is an expert network based in Paris, France. It was started in 2011 by a former Accenture consultant. Insight Connect is focused on serving French private equity clients and recruiting experts in French-speaking countries. Two other noteworthy French expert networks are Presans and Xperts Council.

Beyond standard expert calls, Insight Connect offers market research studies (flash studies and longer engagements) and a search service for operating partners and independent directors, supporting investment funds, consulting firms, and corporate executives. The firm sources experts specifically for each engagement rather than working from a pre-validated database, drawing on methodologies it says it has refined over more than a decade.
