Raphaël acted as M&A advisor to Firmenich, the world’s largest privately-owned perfume and taste company (€3.7bn turnover) based in Switzerland, in its acquisition of DRT (€550m turnover) from private equity fund Ardian. DRT is a world leading producer of plant-based, renewable ingredients. On this landmark transaction (1,7 billions of euros), Firmenich leveraged on Raphaël insight on the company and expertise on the sector to rapidly enter into one-to-one discussions despite the launch of an auction process.
The founders of Le Wagon opened up their capital to boost the company’s growth mainly through external growth, new verticals development (with a focus on data science) and expanding its international footprint.
PE funds Cathay and AfricInvest have invested €17 million. Le Wagon is one of the leading independent players in the sector of bootcamps (accelerated training) dedicated to digital and technology fields. It is present in Europe and Asia, with campuses in many countries.
