Back to original languageAbout Thibault
I am Managing Partner of AKCEAN, an independent firm specializing in M&A operations (sale, acquisition, fundraising) for SMEs and groups located in Luxembourg, Belgium and France.
I work on transactions ranging from a few million to several hundred million euros, with concrete experience as an advisor, buyer and seller. My background combines years in investment banking and private equity, with a thorough understanding of the strategic, financial and human issues of growth or transfer operations.
On Malt, I offer short and high value-added formats:
– Flash valuation audit (1h + summary note)
– Review and improvement of Business Plan or pitch deck
– 1:1 sessions to structure a sale, acquisition or fundraising project
My approach is clear, structured and pragmatic. I act as a sparring partner to challenge your options, facilitate your decisions and prepare solid communication with an investor or acquirer.
