Marktlink has opened its first office in France, marking the next step in its European expansion. Based in Lyon and launched in October 2026, the new office is led by Pierre-Alexandre Vray, Managing Partner, who will drive Marktlink’s growth in the French market.
International experience and Marktlink’s approach
The Lyon office will have a local team of five by the end of this month, with further growth expected as the business develops. Clients in France will benefit from Marktlink’s data-driven approach, proprietary digital tools, and access to a broad international network of M&A professionals across Europe.
Pierre-Alexandre Vray brings 18 years of M&A experience, combining international large-cap expertise with a strong track record in the French small and mid-market. His background spans BNP Paribas CIB, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays, and Natixis Partners, now Financière de Courcelles. He has advised entrepreneurs and business leaders across a wide range of situations, with particular experience in the manufacturing industry and the technology, media and communication sector.
Pierre-Alexandre Vray: “Selling, acquiring, or opening up capital to accelerate growth are defining moments in the life of a business. They should not be approached alone or in haste.
Our role is to bring the clarity and perspective needed to deliver each project in line with the entrepreneur’s ambitions. And because the right partner is not always found within France, we put Marktlink’s European network to work for every entrepreneur we support.”
Ambitions for Europe
Tom Beltman, managing partner of Marktlink: “The opening of our 23rd European office in Lyon marks an important step in our long-term growth ambition. France has an exceptionally strong SME sector and is one of the pillars of the European economy. We see tremendous opportunities to support entrepreneurs in growing and selling their businesses.”
With its combination of local presence and international reach, Marktlink continues to build a platform designed to maximise entrepreneurial value in every market it serves.
