Meet our team…
Agama Group is a young, dynamic and fast-growing team: some forty people spread over France and Luxembourg, managed by 3 partners in both countries.

Our multi-specialist team is made up of women and men with complementary expertise and professional skills. Every one of us is enriched by his or her exchanges with clients, their service providers, their respective regulators, the link that unites the group’s teams and the values of Agama.
