Investor

Pierre concentrates on late-stage investments through ALTO, a special situations fund. ALTO is a partnership between NJF Capital and private equity firm Peninsula Capital (€4bn AUM), targeting hard-to-access, high-quality companies at later stages of growth. Capital has been deployed into companies including Stripe, Databricks and ByteDance. Pierre joined Nicole Junkermann a decade ago and has since focused on building and monitoring NJF Capital’s core technology portfolio, comprising more than 60 direct investments and 27 fund-of-funds positions. They identified early category winners ranging from Revolut (Series A), Rippling (Series B), and Groq (Series B), to SpaceX (direct cap table exposure following the sale of Swarm Technologies). Pierre began his career as an investment banker specialising in technology IPOs at Goldman Sachs, working across both London and New York within the Equity Capital Markets team. He then spent ten years working alongside the co-founder of E*Trade Europe, gaining first-hand entrepreneurial and operational experience across Europe in business development and company building. He holds a Master’s degree in Economics and Finance from Paris Dauphine University.
