• Bouard will head up the firm’s Fund Administration practice.

IQ-EQ’s Peru & Partners, a private equity fund services provider, has appointed two senior department heads, Christophe Pasquier and Lucie Bouard, to strengthen its leadership team.

Peru & Partners was acquired by IQ-EQ in 2019, and is dedicated to servicing the French private equity industry.

Pasquier will lead the firm’s CFO Secondment offering. He has over 25 years’ finance experience and before joining Peru & Partners, he spent 11 years as CFO of NextStage AM, a management company that specialises in growing French SMEs through private equity funds.

Bouard will head up the firm’s Fund Administration practice. She has 14 years’ experience in the finance industry and joins Peru & Partners from an international fund administration and accounting provider, where she was fund manager in the firm’s Paris office and specialised in private equity.

Within the Peru & Partners leadership team, Pasquier and Bouard will join fellow department head, Ramelle Gabdibe (Valuation Services), who joined the business earlier this year. They will report directly to Peru & Partners’ CEO and founder, Sébastien Péru.

Commenting on the two recent appointments, Péru said: “It is with great pleasure that I welcome both Christophe and Lucie to Peru & Partners and to IQ-EQ. Being Europe’s second largest private equity market, France is of great strategic significance to our global group and is key to the continued growth of IQ-EQ’s alternative funds offering in Europe.”
