Extens, the investment fund specialising in healthcare software and data, announces the expansion of its team with the addition of three new professionals and one internal promotion during the first half of 2025.
The investment team welcomes two new members and records a promotion to support the fund’s geographic expansion strategy. In parallel, the operating team continues to grow and now includes three professionals. Extens currently brings together 14 team members, including 8 dedicated to investment.
Joan Gonzva, who holds dual master’s degrees in Financial Engineering and Finance, joined Extens permanently as an Analyst in Q1 2025 after gaining valuable experience in consulting at Exelmans and in private equity at both Extens and Mérieux Equity Partners during her studies.
Kévin Mainaud brings 11 years of experience, first in business development at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, then in strategic advisory at the TSS Group. Between 2019 and 2025, he advised eight software companies as a sparring partner, working closely with management teams on strategic growth and transformation initiatives. He joined Extens in Q2 2025 as Operating Director, working alongside Arnaud Houette and Albane Gayon to support operational value creation across the portfolio.
Antoine Pringiers joined the investment team in early July as an Associate, following over three years at Saxenhammer & Co., a Munich-based investment bank specializing in advising German Mittelstand technology companies.
Vincent Céré, a member of the investment team since September 2022, has been promoted to Associate. He previously gained experience with Extens and UI Investissement during his studies.
These additions follow the promotions of Charles Bourgain and Morgane Decultieux to Executive Directors at the end of 2024, and the recent appointment of Mark Pel as Senior Advisor Benelux. Together, they reflect the strong momentum behind Extens as it continues to deploy its third vintage and the continued dynamism of the healthcare software space, where Extens has firmly established itself as a European specialist.
Arnaud Houette and Quentin Jacomet, Managing Partners at Extens, commented:
"These appointments further strengthen a team that blends deep sector expertise, high investment standards, and hands-on operational engagement with our portfolio. Our ambition remains unchanged: to support healthcare software entrepreneurs by providing them with strategic, operational, and human capital to accelerate their growth."
