I grew up in France and moved to Singapore 17 years ago. I started my career in the automotive industry and for 6 years worked for VALEO in financial controller roles mostly in Mexico and Brazil. In 2000, I joined my first start-up, a Paris-based e-commerce company as CFO and COO.
From 2002 to 2009, I worked as group CFO and then group CEO at Welcome Real-time (now part of Collison Group), a fast-growing fintech software start-up with clients in over 30 countries. I grew the company from 20 to 130 people, from US$1m to US$20m revenue and from heavy losses to US$3m Ebitda. I successfully sold Welcome Real-time to one of the largest European Private Equity firms for US$50m.
In 2010, I founded Soft Venture an advisory firm assisting technology companies accelerate in Asia, before co-founding Hera Capital, a Singapore-based Venture Capital fund management company in 2012.
As co-founder and Managing Partner of Hera Capital, I have raised around US$50m of capital, invested in 14 companies (from Seed to Series D rounds), supported as an active board member various management teams, and been leading numerous fund- raising or full exit processes for Hera Capital’s portfolio companies.
