About Victor

I help investment managers structure, launch and operate institutional-grade private capital funds.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across audit, fund finance and platform build-up, supporting GPs on fund structuring, governance, operations and LP-facing processes.

I’ve been hands-on in launching and operating multi-jurisdictional funds (Luxembourg, France and Sharia-compliant, €500m+ AUM), acting as a COO/CFO-type partner to investment teams from first closing to maturity.

I enjoy exchanging with GPs and Partners on fund platform topics, particularly around scaling operations, preparing new vehicles or strengthening
