About Augustin

After 7 years in investment banking (M&A) in London and Paris, managing transactions up to €300 million in various sectors, and 3 years in the financial and operational management of an entrepreneurial group, I have chosen to put my expertise at the service of other entrepreneurs.
This dual role, analytical rigor and operational pragmatism, allows me to approach business challenges with a strategic and concrete vision.

I am involved in all financial issues (CFO, Reporting, Business plan, KPIs, Accounting, Corporate development and Fundraising) and operational excellence (internal audit, process optimization, cost reduction, etc.).
