With over €250 million of revenue expected this year, Orisha’s strategic objective is to offer high-quality and agile software solutions to customers by maintaining customer proximity, accelerating technological innovation and increasing organizational integration.
Jacques Ollivier, CEO of Orisha said, “We are thrilled to onboard Francisco Partners alongside TA as we aim to drive continued growth and further enhance Orisha’s offerings. Both TA and Francisco Partners share our vision for the Company, and we are excited to work together to ensure sustained strong performance in the future. With their support, Orisha is positioned for expansion and to provide our customers with the best solutions.”
“Since our initial investment three years ago, Orisha has experienced meaningful growth and positive transformation under the direction of Jacques and the entire leadership team. We remain deeply confident in the Company’s long-term organic and inorganic growth potential, and we look forward to collaborating with Francisco Partners for the next chapter of Orisha’s journey,” said Maxime Cancre, Director, and Patrick Sader, Managing Director, at TA.
“We are big believers in the power of vertical software and hence fully aligned with Orisha’s mission and vision to build industry-specific solutions. Having tracked the company closely for years, we have been impressed by all that the Orisha team has accomplished, under the leadership of Jacques. Working in partnership with him and TA, we will seek to support Orisha’s next stage of growth by continuing to serve its loyal customer base and expanding thoughtfully into new segments,” said Quentin Lathuille, Principal, and Petri Oksanen, Partner and Co-Head of European Investing, at Francisco Partners.
