Engagement Manager

Name: Emmanuel Durou

Nationality: French

Grade: Manager

Office: London

Academic background: Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Telecommunications (Paris); MBA (Columbia Business School)

After graduating from Engineering school I joined France Telecom in New York. I spent eight years with the company both in the US and the UK and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School before joining Spectrum Value Partners.  I felt that moving to a strategy consulting firm was the right move to leverage my industry experience and my MBA.

Given my background, I mostly specialise in the telecoms sector. However, I have had the opportunity during my two years here to work on a wide range of projects in media and telecoms around the world, from new service propositions for an IPTV provider in Italy to the creation of mobile ventures in the Middle East and Africa.

My favourite project of all brought me back to my home country, France, where I supported the Football League in their media rights strategy. Being an enthusiastic football fan but a poor performer on the field I was pleased to finally make, in my own way, a valuable contribution to French football!
