Managing Director at Aentib Holdings & Senior Advisor at Jerusalem Venture Partners. I believe that great companies are forged during tumultuous times. Amid an uncertain economic backdrop and deepening geopolitical crises, our portfolio companies continue to demonstrate incredible resilience and ingenuity. We are beholden and supportive of all our crazy entrepreneurs that are redefining what is possible in the intersection of Climate and our core themes Cyber, AI, Fin-Tech, Insur-Tech, as well as smart Agriculture & Food security, also Healthcare & Life Sciences. Until recently I served as co-founder and partner at TVM Life Sciences and at Rho Capital’s Rho Fund Investors and Rho-Ventures Canada. Previously I worked at the Chairman of CDPQ’s Real Assets Group’ office ($85Bil AUM) as member of a special solutions task force for emerging markets. I have also worked in public service for the Québec government on FDI and the set up of Centers of Excellence . With over 20 years in investment and partnership development roles, I initiated programs, and developed solutions that have invested over $10 billion in 24 PE funds and companies. A number of those were first time strategies. My non-profit activities gave me opportunities to work closely with government agencies in the USA & Canada, Latin America, Africa, Middle-East and Eastern Europe on foreign direct investment & development strategies. I helped form and capitalize first-time impact regional funds. As a proponent of entrepreneurship, innovation and impact investing, my interests extend internationally to the effect of investing in frontier and conflict jurisdictions where I participated in a number of international mandates focused on sustainable alternative investments, reforms and development for real economy businesses, such as in Eurasia post 2009 financial crisis, in Latin America post 2010 Haiti earthquake, in North Africa post Arab spring, and in the Near East post 2020 Beirut port explosion and financial meltdown. There will always be good and bad seasons - we can’t control the weather only be prepared for it. I remain optimistic for a better tomorrow.less
