Launch of HEKZÉ, a Key Player Supporting Investment Funds

Paris, 10 December 2024
HEKZÉ announces its launch to support investment funds and their portfolio companies in improving both financial (IRR) and non-financial performance. Founded by five highly operationally experienced executives active in the fund ecosystem, HEKZÉ acts as an operational partner across various types of assignments throughout the life cycle of deals. Backed by its shareholder Grant Alexander, the consultancy aims to become a reference player in France and internationally in the role of Operating Partner, mobilising the full range of skills necessary to help companies address challenges in operational results, ESG, applied Artificial Intelligence, and talent management.

HEKZÉ AND GRANT ALEXANDER: A PARTNERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE FUND PERFORMANCE

“The growing expectations of LPs and investment funds—whether Private Equity, Growth VC, or Family Offices—regarding concrete optimisation of performance, AI, ESG, and leadership matters highlight the increasing need for Operating Partner interventions. When internal teams are absent, or in support of existing teams, we can offer our experience and capability to share knowledge with the community managing private equity assets,” says Eric Dodin, President of HEKZÉ.

“There is much in common between the DNA of HEKZÉ and the Grant Alexander group, particularly the values of proximity, commitment, and enthusiasm. Our investment in the company was a natural step, and we look forward to combining our strengths to deliver an unprecedented level of support that will contribute to the sustainable performance of funds and the companies they back,” comments Henri Vidalinc, President of Grant Alexander.
