DGA Group Further Strengthens Paris Team with the Appointment of Senior Advisor Philippe Berta
Paris – 15 January 2025 – DGA Group, an expert-led advisory firm, today announced the appointment of Philippe Berta as Senior Advisor. Based in Paris, Professor Berta will help the firm’s clients navigate the evolving priorities of France’s newly established government.
A former Member of the French National Assembly from 2017-2024, Professor Berta brings deep insight into policymaking and strategic decision-making during pivotal times. His tenure in the Assembly was marked by leadership in shaping bioethics legislation and advancing policies to support scientific innovation, informed by his background as a distinguished geneticist, scientific researcher and Professor Emeritus in molecular genetics. This experience uniquely positions him to advise global businesses as they adapt to France’s shifting political, economic and societal landscape.
Professor Berta’s appointment comes at a time when businesses are closely monitoring government policies to anticipate opportunities and mitigate risks. As highlighted in DGA’s recent research, French businesses remain vulnerable to geopolitical and market disruptions.
“Joining DGA Group offers an opportunity to support businesses navigating today’s complex environment,” said Professor Berta. “The coming months will be critical as France’s government solidifies its policy agenda, and I look forward to helping our clients make informed, strategic decisions to secure their future.”
This appointment further strengthens DGA Group’s Paris team following its recent acquisition of EH&A Consulting, a leading crisis management firm in France.
“Philippe’s deep understanding of the French political environment and his policymaking expertise are invaluable as we continue to support our clients in navigating geopolitical challenges,” said Erwann Le Page, DGA Partner and Head of France.
Following “the year of the election” in 2024, 2025 promises to be “the year of change,” making strategic insight and innovative solutions more important than ever. The addition of Professor Berta further enhances DGA Group’s ability to support clients during this transformative time.
