Anthony Frasca Caccia

Anthony Frasca-Caccia is an Investment Director in the Private Equity team at Cerea Partners, a Paris-based independent fund manager specializing in the food & beverage and agribusiness sectors. According to the firm's own team page, he joined Cerea Partners in 2014. Before that, per industry profiles, he completed internships in private equity at BNP Paribas and in restructuring at KPMG, giving him exposure to both growth/buyout investing and distressed/financial-advisory work early in his career.

He holds a degree from EDHEC Business School, one of France's leading grandes écoles for finance. His career has been concentrated in private equity rather than early-stage/angel investing, focused on the agri-food value chain that defines Cerea's mandate.

Cerea Partners describes itself as "the investor-partner of the food & beverage universe." It is regulated by France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and is an AIFM-authorized manager. The firm was founded in 2004 — originally backed by Unigrains as sole shareholder — and became independent through a management buyout completed on 25 October 2019. It manages roughly €1.4 billion across Private Equity, Mezzanine, and Senior Debt strategies and has made more than 200 investments since inception.

As an Investment Director, Frasca-Caccia's role centers on sourcing, executing, and managing private-equity investments in SMEs and lower-mid-cap food, beverage, and agribusiness companies, typically supporting buyouts, sustainability ("CSR") transitions, and growth acceleration.

• Invests through Cerea Partners' private equity strategy (alongside the firm's mezzanine and senior-debt offerings), targeting small and lower-mid-cap companies — not seed/angel deals.
• Sector specialization in food & beverage / agribusiness, structured around three stated themes: feeding the population (food processing, beverages, ingredients, animal feed), responsible production & consumption (equipment, packaging, R&D, energy, logistics), and well-being (dietary/medical nutrition, health & beauty, specialist distribution, catering).
• Backs buyouts (primary and secondary), majority or minority positions, and growth capital, supporting management teams on expansion, build-ups, and ESG/CSR transitions.
• Cerea positions itself as the leading investor in small and lower-mid-cap food & beverage businesses in France/Europe, an "investor-partner" mandate emphasizing long-term partnership with founders and managers.
