IPEM 2026: M&A & Debt Joint Views

IPEM, the premier global summit for private capital, took place last week in Paris. This landmark gathering unites each September private market investors and fund managers from every continent, to converge and create opportunities across all communities and market segments.

At the Natixis CIB joint booth, we caught up with Eric Hamou, the newly appointed co-Head of Natixis Partners, and Grégoire Langhade, Senior Banker - Sponsor Coverage. They share their joint perspective on today’s market dynamics and the opportunities ahead, both in M&A and debt advisory.
