Eric Molinier

Eric Molinier is a private-markets specialist at Société Générale Private Banking (SGPB), the wealth-management arm of Société Générale S.A. Multiple professional-data sources place him as Head of Private Equity Funds (France) and Deputy Global Head of Private Equity Funds at SGPB, a senior role he has held since roughly 2019. He has been described on those same profiles as a Private Equity Funds Expert at the bank since 2013–2014, and elsewhere as Head of Alternative Analysts at Société Générale S.A. — all consistent with a career centered on selecting and allocating to third-party private-markets funds on behalf of the bank's private clients.

His earlier tenure at Société Générale included responsibility for investment strategy in emerging markets and commodities (circa 2006–2008), indicating a background in cross-asset and alternatives research before he specialized in private equity fund selection. His public Viadeo profile lists studies at the Université d'Auvergne (Clermont-Ferrand), 1994–1999.

It is important to flag a discrepancy with the stub data: the "Angel Investor / Seed Round" classification does not match his verifiable role. Molinier works inside a private bank's private-markets team, where the job is manager selection and fund allocation (committing to PE, private-credit and infrastructure funds), rather than writing personal angel checks into early-stage startups. Founders should treat him as an institutional LP-side allocator, not an individual seed investor.

• Operates on the allocator / fund-selection side: chooses and commits capital to external private-equity, private-credit and infrastructure funds for Société Générale Private Banking's clients, rather than making direct startup investments.
• Coverage spans the private-markets spectrum — buyout and growth private equity, plus increasingly private credit and infrastructure exposure for wealth clients.
• Has publicly signaled client demand for private credit and infrastructure as diversifiers, per his contribution to the Adams Street Partners 2024 Global Investor Survey.
• Associated with SGPB's responsible/sustainable investment messaging in private equity (the bank's "Understanding Responsible Investment — Focus on Private Equity" content series).
