These themes are more than investment\r\ntrends; they represent a structural shift in materials, supply chains, and regulation.\r\nI'm particularly interested in how we as investors can actively help these businesses scale \u2014 not\r\njust through capital, but by contributing industrial know-how, governance, and international\r\nnetworks. That\u2019s where real value is created.\r\nWith a background in M&A advisory, I also bring a transaction-oriented perspective to growth\r\nequity \u2014 focusing on dealmaking, structuring, and ultimately, building companies that are ready for\r\nexits. And given our investor base, I see a growing role for private wealth in accelerating this\r\ntransition.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_activity_time_start":"14:15","_activity_time_end":"14:45","_activity_date":"2026-02-05","_activity_price":"0","footnotes":""},"edition":[1084],"location":[1089],"track":[],"activity_type":[],"class_list":["post-492274","activity","type-activity","status-publish","hentry","edition-paris-packaging-week-2026","location-discovery-zone-stage-2026"],"_guests":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guest\/492192"}],"_sponsors":[],"_cover_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/492274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/activity"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/492274\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":493173,"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/492274\/revisions\/493173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"edition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/edition?post=492274"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=492274"},{"taxonomy":"track","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/track?post=492274"},{"taxonomy":"activity_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.parispackagingweek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity_type?post=492274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
