CAPZA announces its exit from Magellan Partners, after supporting the Group’s growth strategy since 2021.

Founded in 2008, Magellan Partners is a French Consulting and Technology group specialising in Augmented Transformation. The Group has established itself as a fully integrated player, supporting companies throughout their transformation journey, from defining their digital strategies through its consulting expertise, to implementing and developing technological solutions through its IT capabilities. Deeply rooted in technology and data, Magellan Partners helps organisations adapt to new business models and address societal, energy, and environmental transitions. The Group operates across key sectors including banking, energy, industry, luxury, healthcare, and public services.

Since CAPZA became a shareholder in 2021, Magellan Partners achieved combined sales growth of +25% per year, significantly accelerating its trajectory through organic development and an active buy-and-build strategy. The Group completed 12 targeted acquisitions, including major transactions such as Adone Conseil, a leading consulting firm for the luxury industry, alongside Daveo, Easyfront, and VP White. These transactions have strengthened the Group’s expertise in high-value segments such as cloud integration, data analytics, cybersecurity, and digital platforms, while expanding its presence in France and internationally.

Magellan Partners has now welcomed ICG as a new partner to support its next phase of development. This partnership will provide the resources needed to pursue ambitious growth plans, including the planned acquisition of Worldline’s Mobility & and e-Transactional Services (MeTS) and part of its Financial Services activities (FS), a leading B2B2C digital services provider. This acquisition marks a pivotal milestone, significantly increasing the Group’s scale and reinforcing its position as a unique European leader capable of delivering major digital transformation programmes across both public and private sectors.
 
Benoit Choppin, Head of Private Equity at CAPZA, said: “We are proud to have supported Magellan Partners during a period of exceptional growth, driven by a dynamic buy-and-build strategy. The management team has demonstrated remarkable vision and execution capabilities, establishing the Magellan Partners as a key player in the European digital services landscape.”
 
Didier Zeitoun, CEO of Magellan Partners, commented: “CAPZA has been a true partner, successfully supporting us for five years, at every stage of our growth. Their trust and strategic support have allowed us to accelerate both organically and through acquisitions, positioning Magellan Partners as a leading player in the Consulting and Technology market. We would like to sincerely thank Benoit Choppin and all his teams for their commitment, expertise and professionalism, which have been fundamental to our success. This partnership has been a driving force behind our transformation.”
