Bio

Eric is a Partner of the Tech & Telecom team. Eric’s passion for private equity began as an investment banker more than 25 years ago. He thrives on assisting companies and their leaders during their critical moments of growth and sees private equity as a natural extension of his own sense of long-term commitment and trust. It was by a stroke of luck that Eric began his career in the Telecom and Tech sector. He quickly knew this was where he wanted to develop his expertise, and since then he’s never looked back. Joining Seven2 was a natural move for Eric, as he likes working with clients and managing corporate finances throughout Europe and MEA. Eric finds true happiness in his family and in building lasting relationships. Whether it’s taking his family on long-distance walks or establishing friendships with business owners, he feels it’s important to take the time to listen and empathize with those he is in contact with. He finds enjoyment in reading about geopolitics and history. Eric holds an Economics & Finance degree from Sciences Po in Paris, a Master’s degree in International Finance from ESSEC, and an MBA from Columbia Business School. He began his career with Indosuez in Paris before joining UBS in London. He then spent 14 years with Goldman Sachs as the Europe region’s head of Telecom Infrastructure & Media practices, among other roles, and was appointed Managing Director in 2004. In 2012, Eric took over as co-head of DC Advisory France. In 2019, he joined Apax Partners (now Seven2) as part of the Tech & Telecom team.
