Team

The two Managing Partners and founders of EM8 Private Equity, Stéphanie Egoïan and Jean-Marc Rivet-Fusil, benefit from a lenghty experience in Private Equity: combining more thant 50 years in this asset class through direct investments in European companies (buyout, capital growth and venture) and investment funds selection.

They have together co-founded and managed the funds of funds activity on behalf of third parties in a major French financial institution for 15 years, from 2005 to 2019, where they have created, raised and invested 3 generations of Private Equity funds of funds.

The symbiosis of their professional skills and experiences as well as their business networks allow them to offer their clients attractive products with a controled risk-return outlook.
