The events occurred during a company celebration in the French capital. Witnesses reported inappropriate conduct by Font towards female employees, described by some as verbal harassment. Senior executive Gemma Formenti reportedly intervened to remove Font from the venue to prevent the situation from escalating.
Following the private investigation, the American multinational reduced Font's responsibilities within the firm. While he previously led the global TMT practice, he was moved to a senior advisor role. This shift coincided with the aftermath of the probe, despite Font's claims that the change was part of a standard corporate transition.
“"As a general policy, we do not comment on, confirm or deny personnel matters."
Font later apologized to staff during a recorded video call. His team maintains the apology was related to organizing an unauthorized event, but internal sources suggest the investigation into his personal behavior was the primary driver for his subsequent demotion within the consultancy.
