Why Us

Vedette is an expanding private limited company, founded in 2010, that specialises in decision support. Our delivery capability is built, on a bespoke basis, from our core team of 11 and an exclusive group of around 80 Associate Partners. We have a growth and diversification strategy which embraces the development of uniquely trusted client relationships and robust business partnerships. Weʼre based in Ireland and the UK and have partners, clients and interests elsewhere in Europe, and in the Middle East and Africa. We owe no allegiance to those who sell products and solutions, so our services are wholly impartial and strictly confidential.

What we offer…

We provide distinctive, highly-valued independent advice and support;  we help senior decision and strategy makers mitigate risks and exploit opportunities day to day, whilst helping them to anticipate future trends. Weʼre policy and technology-aware, with a focus on people, organisation and ways of working. Disruptive technologies present both risks and opportunities to all forms of enterprise; gaining information advantage is key. We help senior decision makers mitigate risks and exploit opportunities day to day, whilst helping them to plan and guide their strategy for the future
