The consulting scene in Côte d’Ivoire has just gained a heavyweight entrant. On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, the pan-African firm FTHM Consulting officially launched operations at its new Abidjan office.
This strategic expansion confirms the attractiveness of the UEMOA economic hub. Speaking to the national and international press, Thierry Rajaona, founder of FTHM Consulting, explained the move: “Abidjan was chosen because of the dynamism of the Ivorian economy.”
For this seasoned banker and finance expert, Côte d’Ivoire’s development potential offers fertile ground for the firm’s expertise, which has already proven itself on local projects, including the financial model for the Nouvelle Pharmacie de la Santé Publique (NPSP).
The Ivorian office is now headed by Jessica Nouraly, appointed Country Manager, whose mission is to strengthen ties with local economic actors and challenge the Ivorian market.
Founded in 1994 in Madagascar, FTHM Consulting is no newcomer. With over 1,100 assignments completed in 35 countries, the firm was the first consulting company in Africa to achieve ISO 9001 certification in 2007.
The firm offers a 360-degree approach covering strategy and organizational consulting; financial engineering; economic studies; human resource management; interim management; service outsourcing; and information systems.
Already present in Madagascar, the Comoros, Mauritius, and Gabon, FTHM Consulting plans to use Abidjan as a launchpad for West Africa, aiming to play an active role in the structural transformation of the Ivorian economy.
A member of the international network MGI Worldwide, the firm relies on over 100 permanent consultants and 150 partners to serve the most dynamic sectors: mining, telecommunications, banking and insurance, and industry.
Thierry Rajaona’s ambition goes beyond simply opening an office. He announced that in 2026, FTHM Consulting will launch the African Network of Excellence Firms, an initiative designed to lobby for greater recognition of African consulting capabilities in the face of global giants.
