Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Gerard is a founder and seasoned executive with nine years of focused experience building and scaling businesses across renewables, agri-food, real estate, legal tech, medical and fitness. He launched and operated solar PV projects and founded INVESTISUN, bringing hands-on engineering and permitting expertise for large ground-mounted farms, while his current vehicle, ORION CAPITAL, combines early-stage investments with the ability to step into interim executive roles. Previously he led consumer-facing, high-growth businesses as Managing Director and Regional Group Director for Smartbox, and ran national sales and marketing initiatives at Danone, giving him rare fluency across B2B, retail, FMCG and digital channels. He also spearheaded easyGym France’s rapid expansion in Paris, blending value-led brand positioning with operational rollout. Based in Greater Paris and educated at EDHEC and LSE, he pairs strategic finance and project-structuring skills with pragmatic day-to-day leadership. A less obvious strength: he bridges deep technical project delivery in renewables with commercial negotiation skills honed in fast-moving consumer markets.
