Damien Lestang joins BlackFin as managing director

Lestang spent 11 years at Advent International, where he was director and took part in mid- and large-cap transactions in France and Europe.

Prior to joining Advent, Lestang was part of BNP Paribas's leverage finance team in Germany, and also spent some time working at Idinvest Partners.

In June, BlackFin launched its first ever VC fund with a €120m target, for which it expects a first close in Q4 2016 and a final closing in Q1 2017. The news came shortly after the firm closed its second buyout fund, BlackFin Financial Services Fund II, on its €400m hard-cap.
