Thibault Basquin, Head of Americas investments
“I joined Ardian in January 2001 as an intern in the Buyout team in Paris. Since then, I have been working with aspirational leaders and Ardian gave me the opportunity to progress quickly by being empowered very early. After 18 exceptional years in our Paris office, I was offered the opportunity to relocate in the US with my family in order to launch our US upper mid & large cap Buyout effort. This demonstrates Ardian’s ability to offer incredible opportunities to its employees as they grow.”
Frédérique Ihmof, Corporate Development Director
“Two years after joining Ardian in Paris, I was offered the opportunity to relocate to London. It was a great opportunity as I was to manage one of the first Fund Finance team abroad. It was very rewarding to take part in the fantastic growth of the team, both in terms of headcount and variety of topics covered!”
Gregory, Analyst
“I joined Ardian in June 2018 as an Analyst in the New York Fund of Funds team following a summer internship. Early on, Ardian and its community helped me develop both professionally and personally, providing opportunities to attend our technical training program, Ardian University in Paris, and access to a senior mentor in NY, among others. These experiences help me make greater contributions for Ardian, and I am excited to be part of of Ardian’s future growth and continued success.”
Alissa Duregger, Senior Client Servicing Officer
“I joined Ardian in January 2016 as an intern in the Client Servicing team in London. It has been a demanding but rewarding experience. I am working with so many talented and genuine people across all Ardian offices, and truly appreciate the Ardian culture and positive work environment. Ardian also gave me the opportunity to become the first Client Servicing team member in our Frankfurt office and was very supportive in my personal development throughout several educational programs.”
