Very active in the Grand Ouest region, Largillière Finance has taken another step forward by opening an office in Nantes, headed by Pascal Le Campion. The investment bank specializing in small and mid cap companies, already present in Paris, Lyon, Brussels and Geneva, is continuing to expand its local presence.

Pascal Le Campion joins the bank as a Partner to open and manage the Largillière Finance Grand-Ouest office in Nantes, in order to strengthen the bank's presence in the Pays-de-la-Loire, Brittany and neighbouring regions. This expert brings his in-depth knowledge of the regional ecosystem, his network of decision-makers and his corporate finance experience to the investment bank's teams.

Both an operating and investment banker, he founded CA Ouest Alliance in 2009 for 3 Crédit Agricole regional banks. Based in Nantes, he has advised, negotiated and executed some one hundred structured financings in the context of LBOs, investments and external growth.
