Back to original languageAbout Simon
You are afounder**, **executive**, or **acquirerpreparing for atransformative transaction– fundraising, acquisition (LBO, MBI, MBO), divestiture, or refinancing – or you have a **specific need for financial modeling**. I transform your project into a robust, quantified, and negotiable dossier that speaks the language of investors and lenders.
I can assist you in three areas, individually or end-to-end:
- Financial Modeling- business plans, integrated models (operating, LBO, project finance, DCF and multiples valuation), financing plans, sensitivity analyses. Clear, auditable models ready for board review.
- Structuring- equity/debt/quasi-equity architecture, capitalization tables, debt sizing and covenants, holding company structuring, exit mechanisms.
- Documentation and Negotiation- equity story, teaser, investment memo, term sheet and SPA/BOPA review and preparation (liquidity, drag/tag-along, earn-out, warranties).
What sets me apart:7+ years in financial advisory and investment – M&A buy-side and sell-side, fundraising, project finance – across 30+ transactions totaling USD 4bn+. I have managed consolidated models, equity and debt raisings from USD 60-700m, carve-outs, and competitive processes.
Founded atHEC Parisand **Sciences Po**, certified in advanced financial modeling.
Typical deliverables:business plan or valuation for fundraising/divestiture; LBO or acquisition model; equity story and investment memo; existing model audit; capitalization table and dilution analysis; negotiation preparation (critical review of term sheets, quantified counter-arguments).
Short and focused assignments:defined scope and deliverables, over 3 to 4 weeks. Describe your situation and deadline.
