About me
I build the models, valuations and credit notes a bank, a board or an investment committee can challenge line by line, and that you can defend when they do. Eight years in banking and finance, close to seven in investment banking front office across Paris, Madrid and Buenos Aires: Société Générale CIB, Crédit Agricole CIB, Natixis, Santander CIB, Banco Sabadell. Every assumption sits in a labelled cell with its basis stated. You get the native file and can run it without me, plus a written note you can send to a board unchanged. Fixed price against a fixed deliverable.... Read more

• Built three-statement operating models, DCF and LBO valuations, and lender-side credit analysis on a fixed-scope, fixed-price basis for investors, boards and management teams. Delivered in native Excel, every assumption in a labelled cell with its basis stated, plus a written note a committee can read unchanged. • Produce institutional-grade equity research on listed small and mid caps, using a proprietary scoring framework covering competitive positioning, contract visibility, capital structure and dilution risk. Recent work: a twelve-layer supply-chain constraint study from roughly 75 primary-source filings; a full equity analysis of a European semiconductor company; biotech catalyst analysis using Bayesian probability. • Built two reference models as published work samples: an acquisition credit model with debt schedule, cash sweep, covenant tests and break-even, delivered with a committee memo; and a five-year SaaS operating model with scenario switch, unit economics and an investor note. • Review existing models against the conventions they claim: full recalculation under every scenario, control-row testing, and tracing each figure in the accompanying memo back to the cell producing it. Findings are graded and tied to their cell. • Designed and launched FiscalRadar.fr, a fiscal-impact simulator modelling seven French political platforms across investor profiles: Excel calculation engine plus web front end.

Own the full financial workstream for an unattended retail venture in Panama, the only operator of its kind in the market. • Built the investment case from scratch: unit economics per installed unit, capex and payback modeling, operating cost structure, and multi-scenario revenue forecasting across site typologies. • Ran market sizing and site qualification across an 88-venue pipeline (malls, hospitality groups, event venues), scoring each on footfall, rent structure and revenue potential to sequence capital deployment. • Assessed financing routes for the rollout, comparing self-funding against equipment leasing and local debt, and sized working capital against the deployment schedule. • Negotiated site economics directly with venue operators: revenue share versus fixed rent, exclusivity terms, and contract duration against payback horizon. • Set pricing, built the commercial documentation, and run financial reporting with a local operating partner managed remotely across time zones. • Assessed a parallel deployment in Paraguay through a local trade association, and declined the market after commercial due diligence on counterparty reliability.
