Serge is a founding Director of FinCap and a member of the Investment Management Committee.

With over 25 years of global experience in strategy, M&A and business development, Serge honed his skills during his extensive career at CSL.  Formerly serving as Vice President of Strategy & Corporate Development, he was responsible for evaluating, negotiating, and closing on global growth opportunities through M&A and strategic partnerships. 

Serge is a seasoned dealmaker with an extensive global network and expertise, spanning from lead generation to business integration.  Notably, he played a pivotal role in CSL’s AU$18.8bn acquisition of Swiss pharmaceutical company Vifor Pharma AG and the subsequent $US4.5 billion placement.  This led to his relocation to Zurich, where he led the development of a fully integrated strategy for CSL Vifor.

In addition to his role at FinCap, Serge serves on the Boards of The Burnet Medical Institute and Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA).

Outside the professional sphere, Serge enjoys playing the piano (albeit poorly) and has a passion for live music.  He also stays fit by tending to his perennial garden, strength training and cycling.
