Jean-Pierre Bouiller also has a degree from Ecole Supérieure de Commerce in Clermont-Ferrand (1987). He subsequently worked in accounting at Fiduciaire de France (Fidex) before joining Sofimac in October 1989.

Initially responsible for a portfolio of diversified investments, he was later entrusted with the management of sector-specific funds before being appointed Portfolio Manager for Sofimac in 1999 and Sofimac Croissance in 2005.

“Being the head of investments is a challenge. Abeil, Aciers Coste, Auvergne Aéronautique, Biovitis, Cartolux, Courbon, Coheris, Siel and GreenTech are just some of the companies I follow.

What I like the most about my job is the variety. Our business leads us to be involved in a large number of different areas of activity, in all aspects of a company ( its strategy, finances, interpersonal aspects and environmental impact) and in all the challenges it faces (formation, growth, turnaround, organic growth, acquisitions, etc.). I have great respect for company principals. Beyond the analyses we carry out before making an investment, the real measure of its success is based on the working relationship and value-creating partnership we manage to develop with the company.”
