Olivier GILLOT
Private Equity ConsultantI fell into the private equity profession at the age of 24, and co-founded and managed Finadvance - one of the pioneers of capital investment - at the age of 31. I've served as a fund representative investing in SMEs in the South-East of France as both a minority and majority shareholder. I endeavoured to be both accommodating and demanding with company directors, and welcoming to the Board's independent directors. In fact, I myself have benefited from the advice of independent directors during over 20 years I spent on the Board of Finadvance. After working a few years at A Plus Finance (with which Finadvance merged in 2016) ), I joined APIA in 2020 to put my experience as a director at the service of SMEs.
