HR Path has entered a new phase of development through a transaction led by Ardian, which is extending its long-term support for the Group through a continuation fund. The transaction reinforces the partnership established in 2024 and reflects investors' confidence in HR Path's long-term growth strategy, while allowing the company's founders, partners, and employees to retain a majority ownership position. The operation also attracted broad participation from an international group of investors, highlighting the strength and scalability of HR Path's business model. The transaction is designed to support the company's next stage of international expansion and accelerate its acquisition strategy across key markets, including the United States, Canada, Germany, the Nordic countries, Australia, and the Middle East.

Since Ardian's initial investment, HR Path has continued to combine organic growth with an active acquisition strategy, expanding both its geographic presence and service capabilities. Ardian has supported the Group's international development, acquisition program, and operational transformation while also contributing to initiatives focused on artificial intelligence and innovation across HR services. The transaction preserves HR Path's entrepreneurial governance model while providing the resources needed to pursue its long-term ambition of becoming a global leader in HR consulting, HRIS implementation, and HR process outsourcing through innovation, international expansion, and continued strategic growth.
