HR Path, a global HR consulting firm, announced the acquisition of IN-RGY, a Canadian HR consulting firm specializing in digital transformation. The move aims to strengthen HR Path’s presence in Canada and expand its global footprint in the HR sector.
IN-RGY, which has built a strong reputation in Canada, partners with major solution providers like SAP SuccessFactors, WorkForce Software, and UKG. The firm has earned recognition for its expertise in HR digital transformation. The acquisition follows a longstanding relationship between the two companies’ founders and reflects a shared vision for growth.
Sébastien Massicotte, founder and CEO of IN-RGY, expressed enthusiasm about joining HR Path. “This acquisition by HR Path represents a major milestone in our development. By joining forces with a world-renowned company, we have the opportunity to strengthen our service offering and increase our impact on the market,” he said, adding that the merger would benefit IN-RGY’s existing and prospective customers with expanded expertise and innovative solutions.
Marie-Soleil Boucher, President of IN-RGY, emphasized the potential for enhanced client services. “By joining HR Path, we can leverage their global resources and expertise, for example in BPO and advisory services, to further enhance our offerings,” she said.
The acquisition is supported by recent funding of €500 million that HR Path secured from Ardian, a private investment firm, to fuel its international acquisition strategy. Frédéric Van Bellinghen, partner at HR Path, highlighted the alignment between the two companies. “IN-RGY’s mission to empower organizations with innovative HR solutions strongly resonates with our own commitment to delivering exceptional client experiences,” he said.
HR Path’s co-founder and CEO, François Boulet, said that IN-RGY’s presence in Canada complements HR Path’s North American growth strategy. He added, “We are on a clear path to becoming the undisputed leader in HRIS across North America. This acquisition strengthens our capabilities and allows us to better serve our clients globally.”
As a result of the acquisition, IN-RGY will continue to operate under its current name, with the addition of “an HR Path Company” to its brand. The company’s leadership and staff will remain in their roles, ensuring continuity for clients during the transition.
