Cyril d’Assigny

I cultivate long-term, trust-based relationships with clients by providing them with select opportunities that match their objectives, optimizing time and the chances of project success.

Cyril focuses on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Lincoln International’s Paris office. He specializes in the agricultural-food sector, providing M&A advisory services to clients involved in the entire agricultural value-chain, such as fast-moving consumer goods companies, family-owned businesses, co-ops and private equity firms.

Cyril’s entrepreneurial experiences, coupled with his background working with listed corporations, enable him to develop constructive and creative solutions for clients that are sensitive to any strategic issues their companies are facing.

Before joining Lincoln, Cyril was the Head of M&A at Bel Société Anonyme (ENXTPA:FBEL). Previously, he was a Managing Director at Sodica (Groupe Crédit Agricole) and a Director in Deloitte’s corporate finance team, where he was responsible for the firm’s food and beverage network. Prior to that, Cyril pursued entrepreneurial ventures, founding a mortgage loan website and serving as the leverage buyout manager of a franchise chain in Europe with 120 stores.

Cyril earned an executive specialized master’s degree with concentrations in finance and tax engineering from ESCP Business School and a Bachelor of Science in economics from the Sorbonne Université.
