and access,
Thomas is a Partner and head of investments in Tech and Telecom. Passionate, demanding and creative, Thomas sees private equity as an environment in phase with his aspirations. The variety of themes, the richness of the personalities he meets, and the impact on the projects he supports are all sources of daily stimulation and fulfillment. Thomas values independence, initiative and entrepreneurial spirit. And that’s what he finds at Seven2. For him, it’s also an environment that combines benevolence and enthusiasm with the excellence and high standards essential for success in private equity. Thomas is enthusiastic about the digital revolution and the opportunities it offers. And he anticipates the profound changes it will bring to all aspects of our lives. Since beginning his career in 1994, Thomas has put his energy into helping tech and telecom entrepreneurs succeed in their objectives. Originally from Brittany, Thomas likes to spend time there with his family. That’s where he finds the simple pleasures of the sea and countryside – an essential balance to the hectic pace of Parisian life. But although he’s attached to his geographical roots, his Dutch wife leads him to new horizons and cultural discoveries. Thomas graduated from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC) in 1994 and began his career at the Boston Consulting Group where he worked mainly in the media and telecom sectors in Paris and New York. Thomas also worked at Crédit Lyonnais in London as a national service volunteer abroad. In 2001 he joined Apax Partners (now Seven2).
