History – Our company was born in 1996, when Claude Bébéar, chairman of AXA, asked Dominique Senequier to create a private equity arm for the insurer. He promised to invest one franc for every two she raised from outside investors. Bébéar’s pledge fostered a huge determination in the young company to win clients and turn them into long-term partners by delivering excellent service and outstanding investment performance. AXA Private Equity launched with a $100m French Buyout fund and two external clients. Two decades later, Bébéar recalled : « I gave her 25 million, I think it was in Francs, and she achieved incredible growth. » In 2013, Dominique Senequier led an employee buyout of AXA Private Equity and created Ardian – Europe’s leading private investment house, with 320 staff and $36 billion under management or advice. Around 80% became owners of the business through shares in the company.
