Bio

Grégory is Operating Partner Digital & Sustainability. After more than 20 years as an entrepreneur and an executive in the digital and tech space, Grégory joined private equity to partner with great entrepreneurs to help them be as successful as possible. In particular, he aims to help them take full advantage of the two major changes taking place in today’s business world: digital, which is disrupting how people consume, companies operate, and how we work; and sustainability, which is about how companies contribute to society, the environment, their customers, their employees and all their stakeholders. Grégory was especially attracted by Seven2’s exceptional team with diverse personalities, strong values and its highly collaborative work environment. He appreciates the firm’s focus on sustainable growth, openness to thinking outside of the box, leveraging digital, and its relentless focus on providing the right level of support to its portfolio companies. Grégory finds inspiration working with entrepreneurs who have ambitious goals, believe in creating tangible and sustainable value over time and have a strong team spirit. He aims to be a true sparring partner to them by gaining a deep understanding of their specific challenges and opportunities and to help them navigate our ever-changing business world and be at the top of their game over time. Away from the office, Grégory enjoys the great outdoors, whether it be skiing and mountaineering or sailing and surfing with his family and friends. He also appreciates literature, fine arts, cinema and good wine. Grégory holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, a diploma in International Studies from Johns Hopkins School of International Studies (SAIS) and a BA in Economics from Swarthmore College. After developing and managing GOA, an online gaming platform, he co-founded Chateau Online. More recently, Grégory served as CEO of Videdressing, the leading French marketplace for pre-owned fashion and luxury goods. He also worked at Microsoft for over 10 years, initially as Managing Director of MSN France, which became France’s top digital media network under his leadership. At the global level, Grégory led Strategy & Operations, then Online Marketing and Monetization for Microsoft’s Consumer & Online business.
