Lincoln International adds Sébastien Caillé as Managing Director

Lincoln International, a global investment banking advisory firm, has expanded its Business Services Group with the appointment of Sébastien Caillé as a Managing Director in Paris. Sébastien will provide mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory services to business services companies with a focus on infrastructure and engineering, as well as other professional and tech-enabled services models.

“Sébastien has world-class experience in advising on highly complex, cross-border and tech-enabled business services deals, both in France and Europe as a whole,” said Friedrich Bieselt, Managing Director and Head of Lincoln’s Business Services Group in Europe. “The M&A outlook in the business services sector is very positive, and the French market is the largest and most important target market for our group in continental Europe. We are excited about the growth opportunities ahead and the contributions Sébastien will make to Lincoln’s global Business Services Group.”

Sébastien’s arrival follows several appointments in London and in the Business Services Group, as well as aligning with the firm’s investments in senior expertise through lateral Managing Director hiring.

“This exciting appointment conveys Lincoln’s strong commitment to the growth of our global platform,” said Robert Barr, Managing Director and Co-Head of Europe. “As Lincoln continues to be a market leader advising on upper mid-cap companies throughout Europe, we look forward to Sébastien’s expertise helping us create top-tier outcomes for our clients.”

With deep experience across corporate finance, Sébastien is well-aligned with Lincoln’s mission of providing an integrated suite of solutions. The firm’s industry M&A groups work closely with its Capital Advisory, Private Funds Advisory and Valuations and Opinions Groups across Europe to provide clients with holistic solutions.

“Sébastien will help us to provide deeper coverage to the French market and bring more sector expertise to our private equity clients and corporates alike,” said Ludovic Rodié, Managing Director and Head of France. “The business services sector features strong market dynamics, and we will be able to provide high-quality advisory processes by working with Sébastien.”

Prior to joining Lincoln, Sébastien was a Managing Director at Natixis Partners. Earlier in his career, he held roles at Bucephale Finance, Citigroup and BNP Paribas.

“My experience working across global markets complements Lincoln’s strong international presence,” said Sébastien. “Lincoln’s platform will provide me and my clients with more options to act and find creative solutions in our advisory work. I am energized by the firm’s growth trajectory, its deep expertise spanning a wide range of sectors and the investments it has made in developing an industry-leading platform.”
