Alexandre Fretti Appointed CEO of ORISHA Group

Jacques Ollivier passes the baton after seven years of transformation and accelerated growth

Orisha, a leading European provider of industry-specific software for the retail, real estate, healthcare, construction, and agri-food sectors, is proud to announce the appointment of Alexandre Fretti as Chief Executive Officer. He succeeds Jacques Ollivier, who has led the company since 2018, steering its strategic transformation, repositioning it as a sector-focused software platform, and accelerating its international growth. Jacques Ollivier joins Orisha’s Board as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

This leadership transition comes at a pivotal time, following the recent arrival of Francisco Partners (July 2024) as co-majority shareholder alongside TA Associates (shareholder since 2021), with the shared ambition to further boost Orisha’s organic and external growth momentum.

A graduate of Telecom Bretagne (2003) and Stanford (Executive MBA 2017), Alexandre Fretti began his career in strategic consulting at Deloitte and McKinsey & Company. He joined Webhelp in 2006 and became Managing Director in 2016, helping to grow the company’s revenue from €30 million to €1.5 billion. In 2020, he joined Malt as Managing Director and later Co-CEO, positioning the scale-up as Europe’s leading freelancing platform, multiplying its revenue from €70 million to over €800 million in just four years. At the end of 2024, he briefly served as interim Chief Revenue Officer at Cegid before being appointed CEO of Orisha.

Alexandre Fretti will officially take office on June 9, 2025.

Jacques Ollivier, outgoing CEO of Orisha, stated:

“These past seven years have been marked by a deep transformation of Orisha: sector consolidation, a new identity, international structuring. Alexandre has the experience and leadership to lead the next phase of the group’s growth, in a new development cycle supported by Francisco Partners since last year and TA Associates since 2021.”

Alexandre Fretti, new CEO of Orisha, added:

“Joining Orisha means embracing an ambitious, inspiring, and sustainable hypergrowth mission: to build Europe’s leading industry-specific software platform for retail, real estate, healthcare, construction, and agri-food. In a rapidly evolving market, agility, specialization, and customer proximity will be our levers to create lasting value. I am honored to write this new chapter alongside our teams.”

In October 2023, Orisha rebranded, unifying all of its brands under a single banner—marking a key milestone in its growth. In 2024, the arrival of Francisco Partners—a reference investment fund in the tech sector—further accelerated this trajectory. Since TA Associates’ entry, the group has completed 19 strategic acquisitions and is targeting €500 million in revenue by 2028. With this momentum, Orisha is establishing itself as a key player in the French and European tech landscape, a leader in vertical software solutions, and a committed partner in industry transformation.
