Yannick Marion combines nearly 15 years in private equity at Eurazeo, five years leading M&A at Dassault Systèmes, and now growth investing at Meridiam, giving him a mix of buyout, corporate acquisition, and software experience that's rare among investors, and his technical background in engineering from X-ENSTA and École Polytechnique lines up with his focus on industrial and software-heavy companies. At Meridiam, he's drawn to hard decarbonization infrastructure like heavy transport electrification and logistics yards, backing companies such as Chargepoly and Blyyd that combine hardware, software, and field operations, and he's comfortable taking both majority and minority positions in these deals.
