Trained as an engineer at Nestlé and with experience in strategic consulting at McKinsey, Bertrand has led international marketing and sales teams before becoming Director of Strategy and M&A at Albéa. Under the auspices of the PAI Partners fund, he orchestrated six major transactions totaling 1.5 billion euros across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
