We’re happy to welcome Thibaut Ghirardi as our Sustainability and Strategy Expert, Private Markets, and the first expert to join our French practice.

Thibaut brings more than 12 years of experience in sustainable finance. Previously, he spent five years at PwC and was Managing Director of 2° Investing Initiative in France, where he coordinated Finance ClimAct, an €18M European programme run with ADEME. Since 2022, he has advised asset managers and financial institutions through Impact&CO, which he continues to run.

He is accredited in Bilan Carbone® and ACT (ADEME), and holds an MSc in Sustainable Development from HEC Paris and an engineering degree from AgroParisTech.

At Axion Lab, Thibaut works with French funds, banks and their portfolio companies from entry to exit: buy-side due diligence, roadmaps after acquisition, annual reviews, carbon footprint and lender KPI reviews, reporting without questionnaires (SFDR, Article 29, France Invest, LP) and vendor due diligence at exit.

Welcome, Thibaut!
