I was an Investment Associate in a private equity fund of funds (Zürich, CH). Previously, I was Portfolio Manager responsible for private equity funds investments at Maaf Gestion (Paris, FR). Prior to that, I was Head of Corporate Development of Externall (Paris, FR, now part of RISC Group), where I managed acquisitions and financing . I started my career in a hybrid venture capital and fund of funds firm (San Francisco, US; Paris, FR).

I currently manage a small business angels fund (Pilot Fish I, vintage year 2009), work as a consultant for the CEO of a French bank and write papers and books. I am also opening a wealth and investment management office in Zürich.
