Chloé started her career in tech in 2010, and has experienced a variety of roles across different ecosystems: from startups, large corporations, incubators, investment banks and venture capital firms.

After assisting a Boston-based software company in its sales efforts in the US, she worked at the actuarial department of the global insurer AXA in London, and later moved to Shanghai, where she worked for a tech incubator.

Back in Paris, she worked in investment banking before joining Idinvest Partners Venture Capital team in 2014 (now Eurazeo). Having participated in 20+ investments across France, UK, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Finland and Lithuania, most of which she led, she contributed actively to the acceleration of the European tech ecosystem. Some of her seed & series A investments include companies like Wefox, Agriconomie, +Simple, Botify, Papernest and Yulife. She has also made several investments as a business angel, including Kita Earth in carbon insurance.

In 2023 she co-founded SlateVC, a pan-European early-growth investment firm dedicated to industry and built environment decarbonization, as well as biodiversity preservation.
