The speaker
Pierre Casas is a Senior Investment Manager at Ardian — one of Europe's largest independent investment firms, with over $200bn in assets under management. Before Ardian, he worked at Goldman Sachs in London and Société Générale. He holds degrees from École Polytechnique (X2017) and HEC Paris.
What to expect
The evening will cover the realities of working in PE at scale: how deals get sourced and closed, what a Senior Investment Manager's week actually looks like, and what Ardian looks for when hiring. Pierre will also walk through a real deal — from first look to closing — and share what his Polytechnique background has meant in practice, including how data and AI are starting to reshape the way investment teams work.
The session will close with a dedicated segment on breaking into the industry: the profiles that stand out, the experiences that matter, and the questions you'll face in interviews.
