About us
A business leader who built, grew and sold a company.
BFO Partners is a management consulting firm based in Nouméa: an outside view, a business leader’s experience, the boldness to do things differently.
The founder
Benjamin Forte.
An engineer by training (Université Paris-Saclay), he spent fifteen years in information systems, then founded, grew and sold his own company. Today he advises management teams in New Caledonia and the Pacific.
He is also a photographer: that is where the visual diagnostic, the signature of our method, comes from.
“I founded, grew and sold a business. I know what each step costs.”
2011
Cloud engineer in health information system hosting, then VMware-certified consultant and trainer.
2015 – 2022
Founds a New Caledonian cloud operator, grows it by around 40% a year, then sells it.
Since 2023
Advises management teams on their organisation, their support functions and their digital projects.
Today
BFO Partners: lighting the way for other business leaders, from the first client to the group.
Where we stand
Three reasons to work with us.
An outside view
You are too close to your business to see it. We come in with no habits and no filter.
A business leader’s experience
Founding, hiring, financing, selling: we have done it. Our advice was first paid for out of our own pocket.
The boldness to do things differently
Today’s tools, artificial intelligence, solutions off the beaten track, tailored to you.
Our commitments
What you can hold us to.
Published prices
Stated before we start, never revised along the way.
A single point of contact
From the first meeting through to implementation, the same person answers.
A measured result
Every diagnostic ends with a figure and a written decision, not an impression.
A reply within 24 hours
Write in the evening in Paris, read the reply when you wake up.
Here, in Nouméa
Based in Nouméa, in step with the Pacific.
The firm is based in Nouméa. We meet you face to face, or by video call when that is simpler. And the time difference works in your favour: write in the evening from Paris, and the reply is waiting when you wake up.
