FranceWhat I'm looking for
At La Française – New Alpha Asset Management, I supported fundraising and direct investments in small and mid-cap companies. I conducted sector mapping and investor research, including work with European family office databases.
I analyzed target companies and built business plans, valuation models, and scenarios to assess value creation potential and risks. I also prepared investment memos and committee materials to support due diligence and deal execution.
At Crédit Agricole Assurances, I built DCF, trading comparables, and LBO models for private equity and strategic equity investments. I drafted investment materials and analyzed due diligence findings and investment KPIs.
Earlier, at Plutus Investment Group, I screened targets in SaaS and Health Tech and prepared financial due diligence summaries. I also supported transaction workstreams and monitored portfolio KPIs.
