With the opening of our office in São Paulo, Diametral continues its international development and affirms its ambition: to support companies in transforming their strategic processes through data and artificial intelligence.
São Paulo: A new milestone in our international development
Diametral, a French consulting firm specializing in data and artificial intelligence, has reached a new milestone in its development with the opening of an office in São Paulo, Brazil.
This expansion is part of an international growth strategy aimed at strengthening our proximity to local businesses and major international groups, while supporting their technological and organizational transformation.
Founded in France in 2018, our company was built on a strong conviction: technology only truly creates value when it solves concrete business challenges and delivers measurable results.
Today, this vision guides our international development. In just four months, Diametral has opened offices in São Paulo, New York, and Bogotá, thereby strengthening its presence on the American continent.
Our arrival in Brazil marks a strategic step, driven by a clear ambition: to offer a new approach to consulting, where success is no longer measured by the number of consultants deployed, but by the value created for our clients.
Rethinking consulting: From resource deployment to value creation
The technology consulting sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Faced with the acceleration of artificial intelligence, companies now expect much more than just the provision of technical skills.
They are looking for partners capable of understanding their strategic challenges, designing operational solutions, and generating a concrete return on investment.
For Antoine Espinosa, Partner at Diametral and Head of Operations in Brazil and the United States, this evolution requires rethinking traditional consulting models.
"We no longer believe in the 'body shopping' model. The client doesn't need to hire consultants for hours on end. They need to solve complex problems and get a return on investment."
At Diametral, we share this conviction: technological excellence must always be at the service of business performance.
Our approach is based on an essential balance between understanding business challenges and mastering technology.
This dual expertise allows us to intervene across the entire value chain, from defining requirements to deploying solutions into production.
Rather than offering isolated expertise, we bring together our skills in data science, data engineering, artificial intelligence, architecture, analytics, strategy, product management, and change management around a single ambition: turning our clients' challenges into concrete, sustainable results.
Design. Build. Scale. Run.: An integrated approach to transformation
To support organizations in their evolution toward AI-Native models, Diametral relies on a methodology structured around four complementary pillars.
Design — Rethinking critical processes
We begin by identifying the business processes that represent the most significant challenges for our clients.
Our goal is to understand operational issues, evaluate the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence, and design solutions tailored to the organization's real needs.
Build — Creating operational solutions
We transform this vision into robust and scalable artificial intelligence products, platforms, and systems.
By combining our technical and business expertise, we develop solutions designed to integrate into the complex environments of large enterprises.
Scale — Deploying at scale
The value of an innovation lies in its ability to be adopted and used sustainably.
We support our clients in industrializing their solutions, deploying them at scale, and upskilling their teams.
Run — Operating and continuously improving
Our commitment continues after production launch.
We support operations, performance monitoring, and continuous system improvement to ensure their long-term relevance and effectiveness.
Design. Build. Scale. Run.
Four complementary steps to turn data and AI into true drivers of operational performance.
Concrete projects, measurable results
Our expertise is demonstrated through projects conducted with major international groups across various sectors: industry, luxury, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, financial services, and consumer goods.
These collaborations demonstrate our ability to combine technological innovation with operational impact.
Industry: Generative AI for automation
For an international industrial group, our teams developed an artificial intelligence agent based on a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture.
This solution allows for the generation, explanation, and testing of industrial automation code by leveraging the company's internal documentation.
A team of 11 experts designed an initial version that includes a web application, an API, authentication mechanisms, as well as monitoring and telemetry tools.
Currently in the pre-production phase, this solution aims to make technical tasks that were previously reserved for a limited number of specialists more accessible.
Hospitality: Securing the adoption of generative AI
For an international hotel group, Diametral designed a secure internal infrastructure to host and operate language models.
The goal was to enable employees to use generative artificial intelligence while managing risks related to data privacy and compliance.
The platform notably integrates a proprietary API, filtering mechanisms, activity logs, and audit features.
Several use cases were presented to the teams, particularly in the areas of translation, communication, access to internal knowledge, and development assistance.
Marketing: Optimizing investments through data
For an international premium beverage group, our teams developed a Marketing Mix Modeling solution to estimate the impact of marketing investments on sales.
Deployed in Canada and the United States, this solution helped guide budget allocation decisions.
In the very first year, the group was able to maintain its sales levels while reducing its marketing budget by 1.5 million Canadian dollars.
A concrete example of how advanced data analysis can directly contribute to improving financial performance.
Pharmaceuticals: Accelerating research with knowledge graphs
In the pharmaceutical sector, Diametral developed a knowledge graph combining internal and public data to support research and development decisions.
Using machine learning, this system helps prioritize specific protein targets and identify opportunities for repurposing existing drugs.
Now in production, this solution supports R&D teams in their work while ensuring data traceability and change management.
These achievements share a common purpose: to turn data and artificial intelligence into transformative tools capable of producing tangible results.
Why Brazil? A strategic market and a talent pool
The choice of Brazil is based on several major assets: the size of its economy, the presence of large organizations with complex technological needs, and the richness of its talent ecosystem.
For Diametral, São Paulo represents a strategic location that allows us to support both Brazilian companies and international groups already in our client portfolio.
This ambition is also driven by the international background of Antoine Espinosa.
A French-Brazilian who grew up in several countries, including Nigeria, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, Antoine possesses a deep understanding of multicultural environments and the challenges of technology consulting.
His professional experience, built across Europe, Africa, and Latin America, is a key asset for supporting our development in this market.
Before joining this venture, he spent four years leading a technology consulting firm in Brazil, helping to grow its workforce from 50 to 350 employees.
This knowledge of the Brazilian market reinforces our commitment to building a solid local organization capable of combining international expertise with an understanding of the country's economic realities.
Growth ambitions for 2030
The opening of our São Paulo office marks the starting point of an ambitious development project.
Diametral plans to recruit more than 200 professionals in Brazil by the end of 2030, in strategic fields such as data science, AI engineering, data engineering, machine learning, architecture, analytics, strategy, and change management.
However, our goal is not to build an organization based solely on the volume of resources mobilized.
We aim to develop a high-performing structure that brings together complementary expertise and is capable of addressing our clients' most complex challenges.
This growth is part of a long-term vision where the quality of talent, international collaboration, and the ability to produce measurable results are the primary drivers of our development.
Towards a new generation of AI-native companies
Artificial intelligence is not just transforming the tools used by organizations. It is gradually redefining how companies design their processes, make decisions, and organize their operations.
For Diametral, this evolution marks the shift from traditional digital transformation to a truly AI-native transformation.
In this new model, artificial intelligence is no longer just a technology added to existing systems. It becomes a central component of the company's architecture and operations.
This transition relies on intelligent automation, continuous data utilization, the integration of AI agents, and collaboration between human teams and intelligent systems.
Our ambition is to support organizations in this evolution by rethinking their critical processes and building solutions capable of generating sustainable operational gains.
A new milestone, a global ambition
With its new office in São Paulo, Diametral continues its international expansion and confirms its commitment to guiding companies into a new era of transformation.
This expansion reflects our conviction: the future of data and artificial intelligence consulting will not be measured by the number of resources deployed, but by the ability to turn innovation into tangible results.
By combining industry expertise, technological excellence, and a global vision, we aim to build lasting partnerships and contribute to the emergence of smarter, more agile, and higher-performing organizations.
From France to Brazil, one shared ambition: transforming critical business processes through artificial intelligence.
Design. Build. Scale. Run.
