About Gimar

Gimar & Co is an independent firm dedicated to advising a broad spectrum of clients around the world on strategic and financial matters.

We have and will always put our clients first

While there is no single formula for a successful outcome, this oath is the framework for every tailor-made solution we develop.
This historically groundbreaking model has attracted backing of a prestigious shareholder base of leading insurance companies and financial institutions including Azur-GMF, Caisse des Dépôts, CNP Assurances, Compagnie Financière Privée, Groupama, MAAF, MACSF, and Société Centrale Prévoir.
Many of these institutions continue to place their confidence in Gimar, whether they participate on its Supervisory Board or work with us as loyal and regular clients.

Excellence is our only standard

To this end, with our gaze toward future growth and innovation, we welcomed Financial institutions expert Stéphane Olmi into the team in 2020.
This union combines Gimar’s recognized M&A advisory to major economic players with cutting edge expertise in M&A transactions as well as fundraising in Fintech and the financial services sector.

Beyond the numbers

We view our shared endeavors as avenues for generating and celebrating human pioneering, something we are passionate about as a company and as individuals. Outside our sphere of operations, Gimar mirrors this through repeated cultural patronage of the arts:
