With 14 years’ experience in the private market industry, Romain reportedly “specializes in private equity, real estate, private debt and securitisation.”
Prior to joining IQ-EQ, he was Head of Sales and Relationship Managers “at Société Générale Securities Services, Paris, where he was responsible for the development of a commercial strategy for French private markets and asset managers.”
He has also reportedly “held other senior roles including Head of Fund Managers for Victoires Haussmann and Head of Real Estate Financing with Investimo.”

He will work particularly closely “with Bram Eijsbouts, Chief Commercial Officer for Luxembourg and the Netherlands, to align opportunities for the Continental Europe region.”
Romain commented:
“It’s clear to me that IQ-EQ’s business in Continental Europe is going from strength to strength, and I can’t wait to get started in my new role. Our priorities for the year ahead will be building on our existing commercial infrastructure, realising the potential of new opportunities, and working with the wider team to nurture client relationships.”
