Back to original languageAbout Samuel
Former M&A analyst at Citigroup (ranked #1 in Europe) and startup founder, I assist executives and founders of growing companies in their strategic financial decisions: fundraising, divestiture, acquisition, or financing structuring.
My Approach:
Having built and managed a company myself, I combine the technical rigor of a top-tier banker with the operational perspective of a founder. My goal is to transform your figures into a solid and convincing dossier that can withstand scrutiny from investors, buyers, or credit committees, and allows you to negotiate from a position of strength.
My Services:
- Fundraising: building the financial model, writing the investor summary, designing the pitch deck, assisting in negotiations
- Company sale or acquisition: multi-approach valuation (DCF, comparables, sector multiples), dossier preparation, deal structuring
- Business plan and financial strategy: robust modeling (income statement, cash flow, working capital, financing needs) to support fundraising, buyouts, development, or refinancing
- Custom financial modeling: steering and projection tools adapted to your challenges and your stakeholders (investors, banks, management committee)
Each mission is conducted on a tailor-made basis, with precise framing of the issues and clear deliverables, designed for your financial stakeholders.
