We were impressed by Hg’s depth of expertise, agility in execution and partnership mindset. Hg brings a network of talent, significant financial capital and decades of experience in scaling premium software businesses. This partnership represents a formidable springboard to accelerate our development, product innovation and international ambition.”
Nomadia sits at the core of Hg’s experience in ERP & Payroll software, where it currently has over €7 billion capital at work. Over the past 12 months, Hg has raised over €20 billion additional capital for new investments and recently opened an office in Paris, France, to further accelerate its activity in the region.
Alexandre Flavier, Partner at Hg, said: “We are delighted to partner with Fabien and his talented team.

We look forward to helping them build a European champion, accelerating their growth at scale and beyond borders.”
Going forward Hg’s investment and expertise will be used to support Nomadia’s investment in R&D and product innovation, including in AI, IoT and machine learning. The company will be able to leverage best practices from the Hg portfolio, notably in go-to-market, operational excellence, and tech platform roadmap, and capitalize on access to Hg’s deep network of talent.
