Global consulting firm Protiviti has acquired management consulting firm Adamantia in a strategic transaction that will significantly enhance both firms' capabilities to serve clients in France and globally. Adamantia's deep experience in the financial services industry and Protiviti's global network will create a platform for growth in the strategically important French market.

Protiviti's acquisition of Adamantia follows collaboration between the two firms over the past two years. Adamantia has worked with Protiviti clients in Financial Services, Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit and has accessed talent through Protiviti and its parent company, Robert Half, the global talent solutions organization.

"The acquisition of Adamantia is strategically designed to help Protiviti better serve its clients in France and globally. Adamantia's experience and deep client connections position us well to further expand our footprint in France's financial services market," said Joseph Tarantino, Protiviti president and CEO. "Our earlier collaborations with Adamantia have shown that the two organizations have shared values and similar corporate cultures, which is critical to ongoing success."

"We have been impressed by the people we have met at Adamantia and are confident that they will help us deliver even greater value to our clients in France," said Andrew Clinton, Protiviti's Executive Vice President for International Operations. "In addition to extending our capabilities in France, a significant market for us, this acquisition will also enable Adamantia's clients to benefit from our services in their operations around the world."

"Our integration into Protiviti represents a significant milestone in Adamantia's evolution. This strategic move will accelerate the expansion of our expertise, allowing us to combine our business knowledge, consulting know-how, and strong human values to drive successful transformations for our clients," said Jean-Baptiste Coiffet, Adamantia co-founder.

"In Protiviti, we have discovered not only complementary offerings but also an entrepreneurial culture and a focus on human capital that aligns perfectly with our core values. The team's robust business expertise, particularly in financial services, coupled with its extensive international client base, provides a solid foundation for our future growth.

"Furthermore, Protiviti's unique model, which leverages Robert Half's capabilities to rapidly scale teams in response to client demands, will be instrumental in ensuring the success of this new chapter. This synergy will enable us to deliver enhanced value and adaptability to our clients as we navigate the complex landscape of business transformation together," said Pierre-Yves Curtet, Adamantia co-founder.
