Advent International

We have been investing in retail, consumer, and leisure companies for over 30 years, recently adding Grupo Skala, Zimmermann, and Parfums de Marly to our portfolio. While many private equity firms are wavering on their commitment to consumer brands, we believe it’s critical that we maintain our approach and appetite to drive growth in the sector. Managing Director Nicolas Chavanne was recently quoted in Private Equity News on current consumer trends and how we assess investments amidst an increasingly competitive environment.

Over 120 volunteers participated in our recent Boston service day in support of Cradles to Crayons, a local charity fighting clothing insecurity by providing children in need with the clothing and essentials they need to thrive at home, at school, and at play. Throughout the day, we filled over 85 totes of clothing, sorted over 21 pallets of donations, and assembled over 1,200 outfit packs to be shared with local children before temperatures drop this winter. We’re immensely proud to support this critical organization and its work in our Boston community. Thank you to all of our Advent volunteers!
