Emmanuelle Pierret and Mathias Raynaud have been appointed investment directors at Idinvest Partners, a France-based private equity firm with several corporates as backers.
Pierret joined Idinvest from private equity and venture capital firm Naxicap Partners, where she spent 14 years. She will invest out of Novi 2, which provides corporate debt and equity financing to French technology companies in amounts between €3m and €20m ($3.3m – $22m).
Mathias was hired in November 2015 from QIA, the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar where he worked in the capital markets department. He will work in Idinvest’s private debt and strategy & solutions branches, focusing particularly on asset-based financing.
Idinvest’s corporate backers include insurance firm Allianz, human resources provider Up Group and media conglomerate Lagardère Group.
