I joined Argos in May 2010 as an intern, then became an analyst, an associate and an investment manager. I chose Argos first and foremost for the people. It’s great being part of a very experienced and people-driven private equity team. Thinking and caring about other people is an essential part of my daily work. For two reasons: one, because people are an essential part of our business. And secondly, because we are a small business. There is a great deal of interaction among us, from the managing partner to the intern.

I also chose Argos for its European aspect. We are truly European, with six offices covering eight countries. There is no equivalent. I’m Italian and French, living in Brussels and covering Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, so it really fits with my personality.
