About us

Ekimetrics is a global data science and AI consultancy focused on helping businesses make smarter decisions. Since 2006, we’ve been working with companies to improve how they market, operate, and grow—using a mix of analytics, tech, and real business insight.

We work across four main areas: Marketing Effectiveness, Customer Analytics, Operational Excellence, and ESG & Sustainability. With teams in Paris, London, New York, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, we bring a global perspective but keep things practical and tailored.

We’re big on making AI actually useful—not just theoretical. And we care about doing it responsibly.

Contributing to the wider team
