Revaia Hires Marc-Étienne Mercadier to Co-Lead Debut Energy Transition Fund

Revaia, a European growth investment firm, has appointed Marc-Étienne Mercadier as Partner to co-lead the firm's debut energy transition fund alongside Jean-Patrice Bellier, who was appointed Partner in late 2025 to launch the fund and assemble its team. The two will jointly lead Revaia's energy transition platform, focused on businesses driving decarbonisation, resource efficiency, resilience and energy transition. No fund size or launch timeline was disclosed.

 

Mercadier joins Revaia with 16 years of experience in private equity, infrastructure and structured finance, most recently serving as Director and Head of Strategy at Eiffel Investment Group, where he built and led the Eiffel Gaz Vert fund from 2020, deploying more than €500 million in equity across renewable energy, decarbonisation and energy efficiency sectors in Europe. Prior to Eiffel, he worked at Générale du Solaire, where he helped industrialise the Independent Power Producer model and structured financing solutions supporting its growth.

Revaia founding partners Alice Albizzati and Elina Berrebi said Mercadier's "track record structuring and scaling energy transition investment vehicles" and "deep understanding of the European energy sector" give the debut fund "exactly the leadership it needs," framing the opportunity as "scaling the businesses that will decarbonise Europe's economy while strengthening its energy independence." Mercadier said "energy transition is one of the most significant investment opportunities of our generation," adding that growth private equity is "uniquely positioned to address a critical market need by providing high-impact companies with the capital required to scale, while supporting European and national decarbonisation targets and strengthening Europe's industrial and energy sovereignty."
