Led by an experienced management team headed by Eric Alimi, Harry Zarrouk and David Dariouch, Komposite is recognized as a trusted partner by its customers, and enjoys privileged relationships with a number of worldwide technology champions (e.g., Oracle, Rubrik, Huawei, etc.).
Backed by Naxicap (formerly Alliance Entreprendre), BNP Paribas Développement, Rives Croissance, Caisse d’Epargne Ile de France and Financière Vecteur since 2020, Komposite serves a portfolio of blue-chip customers mainly comprising major French groups in the energy, retail and finance sectors, as well as established mid-market players.
