Founded in 2024 by experienced investor and executive Virginie Morgon, Ardabelle seeks to partner with profitable mid-market industrial, services, and technology businesses that enable the shift towards more resilient, efficient, and sustainable value chains. The firm is built to address the opportunities presented by Europe's industrial transformation and sustainable transition, helping corporations develop stronger supply chains capable of navigating resource scarcity and an evolving regulatory landscape.

"The Ardabelle strategy is rooted in our ability to invest in regional champions and scale them to be international leaders. To do so, we align broad networks and forge powerful partnerships to create the winners of tomorrow," said Virginie Morgon, Founding and Managing Partner of Ardabelle. "TPG will be a strategic asset in broadening those networks, and the firm's partnership-driven approach and pioneering climate expertise make them the perfect partner to help launch and scale Ardabelle."

Ardabelle will primarily invest in essential businesses that provide sustainable solutions and services within the supply chains of their corporate customers. Areas of focus will include resource preservation, value chain digitization, material circularity, and sustainable logistics.

"Virginie is an experienced investor with a history of identifying differentiated opportunities. With its targeted investment strategy and deep insights, Ardabelle will capitalize on rising global demand for sustainable value chains by building next-generation suppliers and service providers who can drive them," said Pamela Pavkov, Managing Partner of TPG NEXT. "We are excited to partner with Virginie and the Ardabelle team to support the firm's growth."

Ardabelle's founding team brings together seven partners with proven collaboration and decades of experience spanning investment management, operational value creation, corporate strategy, and sustainability advisory for firms including Eurazeo, McKinsey & Company, SUEZ, The Carlyle Group, Danone, and the World Economic Forum. With a wide and distinctive network, rare corporate access, and deep cross-industry insights, Ardabelle is positioned as a trusted partner to critical suppliers, corporations, sustainability experts, and scientific organizations.
