Olivier Maréchal and Vincent Dron : Talent on Demand

Can you introduce your company in a few words?

We Put You in Touch is a Luxembourg-based marketplace connecting financial institutions with senior independent consultants, across management consulting and transformation, risk and finance, operational support, and compliance. The model is simple: institutions access the profiles they need without long procurement cycles, consultants access quality assignments without the overhead of running their own business development. We are paid a commission when a mission is successfully signed. No subscription, no retainer.What we are building beyond the matching is something less common in this market: a professional environment where experienced independent practitioners can work at the level of a large firm, with shared tools, shared methodology, and a community of peers. We announced a partnership with Cigno in May 2026, giving our consultants access to AI infrastructure designed specifically for professional consulting. That is part of this direction.

“Cost containment is also high on the agenda

What are the most pressing needs of financial services organizations?

Financial services institutions in Luxembourg are focused on several strategic priorities as they navigate a rapidly evolving environment. Regulatory compliance remains at the forefront, with particular attention to EU frameworks such as DORA, AML/KYC, RIS, GDPR and ESG disclosure requirements. Digital transformation is a key driver, as firms modernise legacy systems, embrace cloud and AI technologies, and strengthen cybersecurity to meet both operational needs and regulatory expectations. Sustainable finance is gaining momentum, with institutions aligning investment strategies and reporting practices to ESG standards. Cost containment is also high on the agenda. In a context of salary inflation, keeping permanent headcount in check while delivering on important projects has become a structural constraint. In parallel, firms are adapting to changing workforce dynamics, embracing more flexible models and anticipating the competencies they will need tomorrow.

How does We Put You in Touch respond to these needs?

We remove the friction on both sides, but the model is designed to go further than matching. For institutions, access to a vetted community of experienced practitioners, a simplified contracting framework, and direct engagement without agency markup or junior intermediaries. For consultants, this means more than mission opportunities. It means entering an ecosystem: direct access to the main actors of the Luxembourg financial sector, professional-grade tools through our partnership with Cigno, and a growing community of peers working on similar assignments. The direction we are heading is one where an independent consultant can operate with the resources and intellectual environment of a structured firm, without giving up independence.That combination is what the market has been missing.
