3/09/2019
EN:
The new leadership team of LPEA took office on September 1st 2019, with Rajaa Mekouar-Schneider as CEO, and Claus Mansfeldt, as its new President.
This change come into effect following a board decision in May 2019, after the announcement of the previous Managing Director, Paul Junck, to retire after 10 years at the helm of LPEA.
The association also expanded its Marketing and Communications team by promoting Luís Galveias to Director and hiring Michaela Viskupičová as a new Events & Communication Manager.
The new leadership of LPEA has the task to develop and implement LPEA’s new strategy, following on from an extensive review the association carried out earlier this year, and building on its mission to reinforce Luxembourg’s role as the location of choice for Private Capital investors, whilst providing a platform for relevant parties to connect, learn from each other and stay informed.
“We spent the last months devising a revamped strategy for LPEA, with the support of our members and the executive team, which will enable the organisation to be even more effective in “matching talent and money”, our motto. My previous roles as a board member and President of LPEA allowed for great continuity in my involvement with the association over the past 3 years. I now have the opportunity to take it all to a higher executive level, with an even stronger team, which is a great privilege and a challenge I fully embrace. My goal is to set the course for 2025, affirming Luxembourg’s role as a hub for Private Capital, thus more than doubling our membership to 500 members, while enhancing relevance of what we do for the many different types of current members our community counts, 220 as we speak, 50% of whom are investors.” – Rajaa Mekouar-Schneider, CEO
“Private Equity is a growing asset class that is appealing to an ever wider range of investors. Ensuring more tailor-made content for members but also broader access to the asset class generally are core commitments for me as President, fully in line with what the executive team led by Rajaa is striving to achieve.” – Claus Mansfeldt, President

Changements à la LPEA, l’association du Private Equity au Luxembourg: Une équipe renouvelée et élargie pour une nouvelle stratégie
FR:
La nouvelle direction de la LPEA a démarré son mandat le 1er septembre 2019, avec Rajaa Mekouar-Schneider en tant que CEO et Claus Mansfeldt comme Président.
Ce changement intervient suite à la décision du conseil d’administration de la LPEA du mois de mai 2019, lorsque Paul Junck, le Managing Director à la tête de l’association depuis sa création il y a 10 ans, avait annoncé son départ à la retraite.
La LPEA a par ailleurs étoffé son équipe Marketing & Communications avec l’arrivée de Michaela Viskupičová comme Manager Events & Communications alors même que Luís Galveias a été promu Directeur.
La nouvelle équipe a pour mandat de développer et implémenter une nouvelle stratégie, qui découlera de la “Strategic Review” menée début 2019. Elle vise à renforcer encore le rôle du Luxembourg comme domicile de choix pour les investisseurs en capital-investissement tout en poursuivant son rôle de plateforme d’échanges pour ses membres.
“Nous nous sommes dédiés à concevoir une stratégie forte et optimisée au cours des derniers mois, avec le soutien de nos membres et notre équipe exécutive, ce qui permettra à la LPEA d’être encore plus efficace dans son rôle de “matching talent and money”, notre devise. En tant qu’ancienne Présidente et membre du conseil, je me réjouis de cette perspective qui s’inscrit dans la continuité de mon interaction avec l’association depuis maintenant 3 ans. C’est un privilège de pouvoir désormais jouer un rôle exécutif, avec une équipe renforcée, et mener à bien ma vision d’avenir pour la LPEA. Mon objectif est de faire passer le nombre de membres à 500, tout en nous assurant que tout ce que nous entreprenons soit encore plus en adéquation avec les attentes de nos membres actuels. Ils sont 220, dont la moitié des investisseurs de tous types.” Rajaa Mekouar-Schneider, CEO
“Le Private Equity est une classe d’actifs en pleine croissance depuis plus de 10 ans, qui attire des investisseurs aux profils de plus en plus diversifiés. Délivrer un contenu personnalisé à nos membres et un accès plus large au PE est un axe fort de ma présidence, ce qui est en parfait alignement avec ce que l’équipe exécutive, menée par Rajaa, s’emploie à faire.” Claus Mansfeldt, Président
