About Imran

Private Equity Analyst/Associate with 3 years of experience covering the entire investment cycle — primaries, co-investments, and GP-led secondaries, as well as buyout, growth, and real estate.
Most recently at LFPI (formerly Lazard Balance Sheet PE) in New York, where I led a $300M GP-led transaction end-to-end as the sole junior, from sourcing to the investment committee.
I undertake short-term assignments for issues where analytical rigor, discipline, and field experience make the difference:
Modeling & Valuation — LBO, DCF, waterfall models, sensitivity analyses, business plans for investment committee
Financial Due Diligence — critical review of documentation, operational KPIs analysis, IC memo synthesis
Transaction Structuring & Execution — support on divestment, refinancing, or portfolio restructuring operations
Fund & Family Office Advisory — strategic framing of PE allocation, portfolio review, co-investment or secondary analysis
Immediately available for ad-hoc assignments (2 days to 6 weeks). I work in French and English, both in Paris and remotely.
