Antoine Lebrun

Antoine is a finance executive operating at the intersection of institutional capital markets and startup financial leadership. He mentors founders from both sides of the table — as an active investor who has deployed capital across PE, VC, and hedge funds, and as a hands-on Fractional CFO who has helped venture-backed companies structure, fundraise, and scale.

On the investment side, Antoine currently leads a single-principal family office mandate in Dubai, covering private equity, venture capital, and public equities. He previously served as Group Risk Manager at Oakley Capital, a pan-European PE platform, where he partnered with investment teams on deal underwriting and supported portfolio companies through capital structure and hedging advisory.

On the CFO side, Antoine has served as Fractional CFO to multiple venture-backed founders and boards, advising on capital strategy, fundraising execution, Series A/B preparation, financial structuring, and creditor negotiations. He professionalized the finance function of Privilee as Head of Finance before transitioning into an investment and structural affairs leadership role. Earlier, he was Global Treasury Director at Glovo, where he led treasury, FX, and liquidity workstreams. He has also held senior finance and treasury roles at a Francisco Partners-backed cybersecurity group and Blackstone's Logicor platform.

A CAIA charterholder with a dual MBA from IE Business School and Singapore Management University, Antoine also holds dual Master's degrees in Finance and Commercial Sciences. He has taught Corporate Finance, Treasury, and Startup Finance at IE University for three consecutive years.

Antoine mentors founders on fundraising readiness and investor narratives, capital structure and financial strategy, treasury and cash management, navigating institutional investor expectations, and building finance functions that scale — bringing rare fluency in both what investors look for and what it takes operationally to get there.
