Jean-Louis Michelet

Managing Director

Asia Pacific

Jean-Louis brings over 30 years of experience in finance, M&A, and consulting, with deep expertise in professional services, IT, and high-tech sectors, alongside extensive operational experience across the Asia-Pacific region.

Value to clients

Jean-Louis combines his M&A expertise—on both the buy and sell sides—with first-hand experience in large corporates and founder-led businesses to help clients achieve “investor-ready” status. He supports companies preparing for liquidity events or guiding them through a value-building phase to enhance market positioning, growth, and profitability. His strong track record in managing multinational and cross-cultural projects is particularly valuable in the diverse business landscape of Asia-Pacific.

Experience

Jean-Louis began his career in engineering, audit, and finance before joining global IT services and consulting firm Capgemini, where he served as SVP of Corporate Development, overseeing global M&A activity. In 1996, he relocated to Singapore to launch Capgemini’s Asia operations.

In 2000, he founded a business information and eLearning company, which expanded into Southeast Asia, India, Australia, and Europe. Following the company’s successful exit, Jean-Louis established ITVEST Consulting, a strategic advisory firm specializing in business and corporate development. Through ITVEST, he has led numerous M&A and market entry initiatives for international clients expanding into Asia.
