ABOUT THE FOUNDER

He has held various positions: investment director (private equity and venture capital), restructuring and reindustrialisation project officer, parliamentary collaborator, and strategy & commercial director.

This diversity of roles — at the crossroads between public and private sectors — has given him a deep understanding of companies, investment ecosystems, and the human dynamics that shape them.
