From a Paris internship in 2018 to leading the Life Sciences practice in New York today, Kim Basri’s career trajectory, recently featured on Management Consulted, is a masterclass in professional growth. At Advancy, we believe that empowering talent early is the key to unlocking extraordinary global impact.

From Intern to Principal: A Story of Trust and Leadership

Some careers tell a story far bigger than a simple title progression. Kim’s journey reflects everything we stand for as a strategy consulting firm: trust, entrepreneurship, and measurable impact.

What makes this journey especially meaningful is not just the speed of her growth, but the way it happened. At every stage, Kim embraced new challenges with ambition, curiosity, and an exceptional ability to drive client success.

As soon as she was ready to take on more responsibility, the firm trusted her to do so. That trust, combined with her entrepreneurial mindset, transformed a local internship into a key international leadership role.

Mentoring the Next Generation of Strategy Consultants

Today, Kim is not only shaping the future of our healthcare and life sciences expertise in the US market; she is also a vital role model for younger generations joining our teams across the globe.

Her path proves that our unique approach to talent development yields incredible results when we provide:

• Early Empowerment: Giving young consultants ownership of their work from day one.

• An Entrepreneurial Environment: Encouraging team members to innovate and build new capabilities.

• Global Mobility: Offering the freedom to grow internationally across our flagship hubs.

Fueling the Expansion of Our New York Flagship Hub

This success story is deeply connected to the incredible development of our New York office. Led by Sylvestre Pires alongside Sebastien David, the NY office has rapidly grown since its foundation in 2019 to become one of Advancy’s primary international hubs.

Driven by an ambitious vision and high-stakes assignments, our US presence thrives thanks to outstanding people like Kim who help build and grow the adventure every day. We are incredibly proud to see her embodying the values and high-performance culture that define Advancy around the world.

“When people are empowered early, encouraged to innovate, and given the freedom to grow internationally, extraordinary things can happen.” Eric de Bettignies, founder of Advancy
