Constance Nevoret joined Mantu almost at the start of her career.
She first worked in the UK, then moved to Canada, where she helped develop Mantu's activities in Montreal and Toronto. In 2020, she became CEO of LittleBig Connection, part of Mantu. Over five years, the business grew from around €40M to €400M in revenue. Today, Constance is co-CEO of Mantu, an international consulting and technology company with 12,000 people across more than 60 countries.

Choosing a place where there was still room to build
After studying at ESCP, Constance could have chosen a more predictable path.
She had already seen two very different working environments: one entrepreneurial, where she had to help build something from scratch, and one more hierarchical, where tasks were clearly defined. That contrast helped her understand what she wanted.
Mantu attracted her because the work was not locked inside a narrow job description. As Constance explains in the podcast, what spoke to her was the chance to "develop a business within the business". A role was not a fixed position on an organisation chart. It was a business to open, a team to run, a client relationship to own.
Mantu is a place for people who want to get close to the business, make real decisions, and be accountable for what they build.

Responsibility before seniority: how careers grow at Mantu
At Mantu, responsibility is not linked only to seniority. It comes earlier, when someone shows they can own a subject, ask the right questions and deliver with others around them.
That trust comes with real work to own, feedback to hear, and decisions to make. It also comes with support. Constance speaks about the role of mentors, peers and leaders who helped her step back when she faced situations she had not handled before.
"When people have great potential, when they are well coached, well guided and given the right means, they can achieve pretty incredible things. And it's quite amazing to see how much young people can grow when they are given opportunities and responsibilities."
What career progression looks like at Mantu
When Constance became CEO of LittleBig Connection, she was 30.
From the outside, that number is striking. From the inside, Constance describes it differently: growth came from market opportunities, client trust and the ability to structure the company without slowing it down.
She describes that period as taking LittleBig Connection from start-up to scale-up. More process, more organisation, but nothing that added unnecessary weight. "The only advice I can give is to surround yourself with the right people. Because the people you recruit will be decisive in whether the company succeeds or not."

What Mantu looks for beyond the CV
Constance is direct about recruitment. Academic background matters, experience matters, but a strong CV becomes more interesting when it shows what someone has learnt from real situations. A polished experience with no learning behind it says less than a demanding one that changed how someone works. A strong application should show what the candidate owned, where the work became difficult, and what changed because of it.
"That is something we value a lot: life lessons and professional lessons, rather than someone who may have had a very strong experience, but a very theoretical one."
Show the work behind the result. Be specific about the problems you faced. Say what changed in the way you think, work or lead.

Women in leadership roles: what Constance's path shows
Constance speaks openly about women and senior leadership, especially the image many people still attach to top management roles. "When you think of a CEO, you often think of a man around 50."
Her path challenges that. Constance reached this position because she built businesses, opened markets, developed teams and proved, through results, that she could take on more scope. That is the point that matters at Mantu. Leadership is built through trust, experience and ownership, not through waiting for the right moment or the right title.
Mantu creates the conditions for women to grow: coaching, internal networks and opportunities to own real business topics. Come with what you want to build next.
Build something real
Constance joined Mantu early in her career. Fifteen years later, she runs the company alongside its founder. That path was built, step by step, with ownership of real work in real markets.
