Inflexion, a leading European mid-market private equity firm, is delighted to announce the appointment of Ben Meyer as a Partner and Head of North America. Ben will lead a new office for Inflexion in New York, building a dedicated team which will focus primarily on supporting Inflexion portfolio companies and accelerating their North American market entry through ambitious acquisitions.     

Ben brings close to 25 years of relevant experience to Inflexion. He joins the firm from Hg where he spent five years helping the firm open and build its US presence, establishing its US brand, growing the US team to over 50 professionals and helping the firm invest in over 10 US businesses. Prior to Hg, Ben was a senior member of Temasek’s US team, where he helped build and lead Temasek’s direct US technology & software investment efforts.  Ben started his career at UBS Investment Bank in New York.   

The New York team will support Inflexion’s portfolio companies to execute their US growth initiatives, with a specific focus on strategic and transformational acquisitions. Driving US expansion is a key part of Inflexion’s portfolio strategy: acquisitive growth has been a key value acceleration driver for Inflexion throughout its history, with over 540 bolt-ons completed in the last 25 years, and Inflexion portfolio companies have almost tripled their US revenues during the investment period.  

We are delighted to welcome Ben to Inflexion to spearhead our expansion in North America. Hiring Ben underscores our commitment to accelerating the international growth of our portfolio companies, and by building a presence in the US, we are better positioned to support them on their growth ambitions and acquisition goals in the largest market in the world.
