Our Philosophy

Harcourt was founded in 2015 by Frank E. Dangeard on the conviction that at the highest levels of decision-making, judgment is the scarcest resource. Information is abundant. Analysis is readily available. What remains rare is the capacity to discern what truly matters, shaped by experience, formed by accountability, and expressed with the willingness to ask questions others may have avoided.

Harcourt’s consulting directors embody this. They are senior leaders whose careers have been defined by accountability at scale. They engage selectively, independently, and only where their involvement can be meaningful. The firm’s commitments are consistent and few.
