Amaury
Amaury was established in 1944 by the Amaury family as a sports newspaper publisher. It remains controlled by Marie-Odile Amaury and her children Aurore and Jean-Etienne, who hold the senior operating roles. The firm invests through direct ownership of operating businesses and selective early-stage positions. Confirmed holdings include full ownership of ASO, L'Équipe, Human Race in the United Kingdom, and Amaury Lab. Capital is deployed in France and the United Kingdom across media, sports events, and technology start-ups. Strategies listed in internal records cover seed, start-up, expansion, secondaries, and general venture. The group employs an undisclosed number of professionals and maintains its headquarters at Quai Ouest in Boulogne-Billancourt. It also owns the ASO headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux and holds a contemporary sculpture by Didier Marcel. October 2024: Co-organized the Ballon d'Or awards with UEFA in Paris. Amaury operates as a family-controlled corporate investor rather than a dedicated fund vehicle. Ownership passes through Éditions Philippe Amaury, and investment decisions remain inside the family management structure without external LP commitments.
