Can you introduce yourself in a few words? Your age, your family situation and the country you live in?

Tell us about your career and how you joined Argos?
Achille
I completed a dual academic background, graduating from HEC Paris (MSc in Management) and Ecole Polytechnique (Master of Research in Innovation Management). I started my career as a strategy consultant at McKinsey & Company in Paris, where I was lucky (i) to work in a variety of sectors, and (ii) to conduct projects in Paris, London, Amsterdam and Tokyo. Over the 4 years I spent at McKinsey, I chose to progressively specialize in private equity to focus on investment and value-creation topics.
I also took the opportunity to do a 1-year secondment in a private equity portfolio company, as I wanted to gain operational experience in a PE-owned business. Little bonus on the side: the company I joined at that time was a professional football club, Toulouse FC, right after it was acquired by the US firm RedBird Capital Partners. The experience confirmed my intention to join a mid-cap PE firm with a highly hands-on approach, which led me to Argos a few months later.
Is this the path you thought you would take when you started your studies?
Achille
The world of private equity has changed a lot in recent years. What is your definition of PE? How do you see it?

” Providing people with guidance and resources to grow personally and professionally is probably one of the most rewarding parts of the job. “
