Anne-Laure Saint-Marc Girardin (Beuriot)

Founding partner - CEO

Anne-Laure founded Carmine Capital to restore the true meaning of M&A advisory. An intense and demanding profession, often perceived as a highly technical field reserved for an elite, and one that can even intimidate some business leaders. Yet, the smaller and more human a company is, the more its shareholder-managers value the quality, clarity, and rigor of the support they receive.

Convinced that a company is above all made up of the men and women who drive it, Anne-Laure has always sought to promote a vision that aligns financial performance with human values. For her, a capital transaction must simultaneously address the personal aspirations of the owner, their financial needs, and the reality of their company’s situation. Only by considering these three dimensions together can the right stakeholders be identified — those whose strategic interests and human values resonate with those of the client. This, according to Anne-Laure, is the key to success, whatever the nature of the deal.

In short: achieving the best deal without losing one’s DNA along the way.

As an entrepreneur herself, Anne-Laure shares and understands the daily realities and challenges faced by business leaders. She knows that by entrusting Carmine Capital with their transactions, they are placing in her team’s hands the result of a lifetime of work.

That trust is built on experience. It commits us. It compels us to the highest ambition.

Both founding partner and President of Carmine Capital, Anne-Laure draws her strength from the complementarity of these roles and experiences. Passionate about financial analysis and corporate strategy, and deeply attached to France — a true “land of SMEs” — what drives her each morning is the desire to generate performance for her clients and the satisfaction of having contributed to moving things forward.
