Paris, France – 18 September 2024 – DGA Group, an expert-led advisory firm, today announced the acquisition of EH&A Consulting, a leading crisis management firm in France, strengthening the firm’s ability to guide clients through an increasingly complex and uncertain international landscape.
EH&A was founded and is led by Emmanuelle Hervé, who will now become a Partner at DGA Group. The firm has an extensive track record of managing crises, preserving reputation and engaging with stakeholders for leading corporations and institutions across Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and beyond.
This acquisition marks a continuation of DGA Group’s expansion in France, which recently appointed Erwann Le Page as the Head of Paris in March 2024. DGA Group now combines its legacy strength in French public affairs with EH&A Consulting’s expertise in crisis preparedness planning and management.
“Joining with EH&A is more than just a strengthening of our offering; it is a strategic response to the challenges of tomorrow. We are committed to providing our clients with the tools they need to anticipate, impact and withstand the turbulence of the future,” said Erwann Le Page, DGA Partner and Head of France.
By integrating EH&A’s crisis management expertise, DGA Group enhances its ability to serve as a strategic partner, navigating unpredictable contexts with agility – whether anticipating political and societal shifts, managing crises or protecting license to operate.
“In a world where uncertainty has become the norm, it is essential to be able to count on a partner capable of addressing multifaceted issues,” said Emmanuelle Hervé, Founder and Managing Director of EH&A Consulting and now Partner at DGA Group.
“We are delighted to welcome the EH&A team and are confident their exceptional expertise will not only benefit our clients today, but also equip them to navigate future challenges,” added Deborah Scott, DGA Partner and Head of EMEA.
EH&A Consulting will continue to operate under its current brand as it integrates into DGA Group, ensuring continuity for clients while leveraging the broader resources and expertise of the combined firm. The Paris teams of DGA Group and EH&A Consulting will co-locate in DGA Group’s offices on Boulevard Malesherbes.
