“Fundraising is often seen as a numbers game. But, like anything that truly matters—building a company, earning trust, or forging partnerships—it’s really about people.”

I’ve spent my career in investor relations, distribution, and capital formation—the less glamorous but arguably more impactful side of the investment world. It’s not just about connecting capital to opportunities; it’s about ensuring true alignment throughout the full investing process—from the general partner to the limited partner, and from the general partner to the founder and portfolio company. At the end of the day, capital doesn’t build companies—people do.

I’ve partnered with EVP to oversee capital formation and distribution, ensuring that fundraising isn’t just a transaction but a strategic, value-driven process. It’s about creating lasting connections, building trust, and ensuring alignment between all parties involved—ensuring the whole ecosystem works together in pursuit of long-term success.

VC investments are inherently long-dated, so it’s crucial to ensure that the Fund Manager has partnership in their DNA. EVP is a true custodian of your capital; investing with a long-term perspective and focusing on growth and alignment throughout every step of the journey.

Through Clemgobert, I’ve built an IR & Distribution advisory firm that goes beyond placements. We manage the full capital formation process, shape compelling narratives, and drive meaningful investor dialogue. The goal? To turn capital raising into an extension of company-building—not just a necessary hurdle, but a catalyst for growth.

At the core of all great investments, businesses, and ideas is connection—between people, vision, and opportunity. Over-indexing on human capital has always been my approach, and I bring that mindset to my work with EVP and beyond.
