About François

With 15 years of experience, I enjoy supporting my clients in their strategic, financial, and personal high-stakes operations through long-term assignments.

For sellers: I help you sell your company under the best conditions, according to your specifications, from operational preparation, the search for qualified buyers, their competitive bidding, and up to closing.

For buyers: I assist you in defining the strategic project and acquisition rationale, target search, confidential approach, discussion initiation, negotiation, scenario-based financial modeling of the operation, calibration, search for and implementation of financing, conduct of acquisition audits, negotiation of legal documentation (in collaboration with your lawyers), and then closing of the operation.

Each company is unique, each operation is different: I love this job because it requires constant adaptation and has no routine. My support is therefore tailor-made.

I put 15 years of experience at your disposal to help you make the right strategic, financial, legal, and asset management decisions for your project.

    I handle transactions valued between €10 million and €100 million, alone or in collaboration with other specialized partners when necessary.
