President

Alexandre started his career as a business lawyer. Keen to work more closely with business owners, he created a Paris-based M&A merchant bank in 2004.

In 2008, Alexandre took over a property construction company in the south of France. He acquired knowledge of the design and construction of residential, commercial, logistical and retail buildings.

During this period, he had the opportunity to work with various property developers and understand the stakes of property development: land optimisation, planning permission preparation, budgeting for construction costs and sales.

In 2015, he started investing in property development projects and sold his construction firm.

He created O2 Capital to provide unbiased finance advice to entrepreneurs and investors thanks to his unique mix of finance and construction expertise.
