Why private equity, and why Seven2?
Louis chose to specialise in private equity because of its stimulating and multidisciplinary nature. Curious by nature, he also welcomes this unique opportunity to learn about the corporate world from every angle and to support inspiring managers.
What attracted him to Seven2 was the combination of a wealth of talent, wide-ranging experience and recognized sector expertise. As well as being a pioneer in its sector, Seven2 is an innovative player which constantly reinvents itself to stay at the forefront of its field.
Passions and inspirations
A lover of travel, Louis is, above all, driven by discovery, and has visited more than 55 different countries. This dynamism and desire to broaden his horizons is reflected in his work. And with the wide range of projects to work on at Seven2 Development, he certainly won’t be bored. Louis does not hesitate to push forward and seize opportunities believing it is better to make mistakes than to live with the regret of missed chances.
Neil Armstrong, a leading figure in the space race and a living symbol of humanity’s achievements, is a source of inspiration for Louis. Louis also loves music and cannot imagine spending his spare time without a soundtrack, especially the music of Dire Straits, his favourite rock group.
His favourite quote
“Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” – Henry Ford
