The adviser
Twenty years in brokerage and equity research in London, Paris and Brussels — SBC Warburg, ABN AMRO, ING, Exane BNP Paribas — where Arnaud led Benelux equity research teams, covered a number of listed companies, advised institutional investors worldwide and ranked among the top-rated analysts in Extel surveys.
A decade in M&A followed, including several years as partner at Merodis, a Brussels corporate finance boutique.

Arnaud is your trusted and independent advisor, at your side during the entire transaction, with a sole objective: to defend your interest.
