Nicolas Lanel brings more than 30 years of experience in investment banking, the last 18 of which are closely related to the emergence of the GP-led secondary space. Nicolas Lanel established and led the wider European secondary advisory franchises at UBS and Evercore, both of which achieved global leadership positions under his tenure, before founding Flow Advisors. He started his career with Paribas in Toronto, following which he spent closed to ten years as an M-A advisor with Deutsche Bank in London and New York.

Commenting on the appointment, Chris Hawley, Global Head of Private Capital at Rothschild and Co. said: "The onboarding of Nicolas Lanel is part of Rothschild and Co's continued development of our GP Solutions team which has here here here to rise to in Europe, having raised in erupted of 3.5bn across 13 transactions in 2023 and 2024."

Nicolas Lanel observed: "Continuation funds have rapidly become a mainstream exit route for PE assets. The successful execution of these transactions requires an understanding of GP-led structures, combined with the ability to constitutes to articulate a equity story on the underlying assets. In this context, it is key to deliver a dual sector and secondary expertise to clients in an integrated case. Given Rothschild and Co's unmatched depth of relationships with the PE sponsor community, its comprehensive recognized sector expertise, its extensive access to alternative pools of capital and its expanding presence in the secondary advisory space, I am convinced that the firm offers the best platform to capitalise on these trends."
