Canopia appoints Boussac to investment team

Boussac will work on the firm's development and acquisition strategy, with a focus on the automotive sector and on related capital commitments within the firm's private wealth equity group.

Prior to joining Canopia, Boussac spent most of his career with automotive buisness PSA. He was most recently CEO of PSA's subsidiary in Shenzhen and Shanghai. Prior to that he was vice-president of Peugeot Citroën Aftersales. He started his career within PSA as a senior project product manager.

Canopia was launched in late 2014 by former HIG Capital senior associate Arthur Dessenante, targeting the European and US mid-markets with a deal-by-deal fundraising model. The firm targets two pools of potential co-investors: private equity funds and family offices or other partners. It looks to back companies with turnovers ranging between €50-500m.
