Desjardins Capital is a fund that specializes in Venture and Buyout financing. I integrated the Venture Capital arm of Desjardins to complement the financial strength of the team with my strong operational, International and entrepreneurial experiences. It took the better part of one year in Desjardins to understand and learn how to bridge the objectives of an enterprise looking for capital and the objectives of an institutional Investor. I now posses a strong Modus Operandi on how to access this capital successfully and align the investor(s) and the operator's objective so that all parties will have a long term viable coexistence together and contribute to the creation of value for the enterprise. My deal flow was focused in two sectors: IT and service providers for the financial sector. Manufacturing suppliers for the Aerospace sector.
