As a Director in the Private Equity & Corporate M&A practice, Leonid advises investment funds and companies on strategic operations, including buy-side and sell-side due diligences, acquisition target screenings, and the design and structuring of post-acquisition strategies. He plays an active role in both the commercial and operational development of the practice and supports team upskilling on these high-impact topics.

Leonid spent two years at Siparex,one of France’s leading private equity firms. He then spent eight years at a strategy consulting firm specializing in private equity, where he led numerous assignments related to growth strategy, strategic repositioning, and portfolio optimization. This hybrid background gives him a sharp, multifaceted perspective on business, operational, and financial challenges.

Leonid has built deep expertise working with a wide range of players—from funds to SMEs, mid-sized firms, and large industrial groups—primarily in the industrial goods and services sector. He also values teamwork, both in project settings and on the tennis court as an active member of the Lyon Tennis Club.

“In Private Equity, every decision involves much more than capital. My role is to guide that pivotal moment between caution and ambition. Seeing clearly is easy—bringing clarity, that’s my job.”
