Summary

I’m an experienced French VC and operator — I moved from public service into corporate roles and then private equity and VC, co-founding Newfund and building a diversified early-stage portfolio across fintech, health, software and foodtech. newfundcap+2
I studied at HEC, Sciences Po and ENA, which gave me a mix of finance, public policy and administrative training that shapes how I source deals and think about sectors like health and policy. bruegel+1
I write and collaborate on pieces about brain health and “brain capital”, showing my interest in health- and neuroscience-informed investing. newfundcap+1
