Javier Martin

Identification note (important): The source stub lists "Javier Martin," a Madrid phone number, and the address [hidden] The only individual named Javier Martín publicly documented in connection with ACON's Madrid / Southern Europe operation is Javier Martín de la Torre. His public footprint (association with "ACON ALSUR PARTNERS SL," an ~7-year tenure at ACON, Madrid base) is consistent with that record, so this profile is built around him — but the exact match to the stub's email and current title is inferred, not confirmed, and there are signs (below) that he has since moved on from ACON.

Javier Martín de la Torre is a Madrid-based private-equity professional with 10+ years in private equity and corporate transactions. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration (BBA, Finance) from CUNEF (Colegio Universitario de Estudios Financieros), 2007–2012. His career began at a Spanish M&A boutique before he joined the private-equity world.

He spent roughly seven years at ACON Investments, the U.S.-headquartered private-equity firm, working out of its Madrid/Southern Europe team. In that role he was involved in ACON's Spanish transactions — public corporate records associate him with "ACON ALSUR PARTNERS SL," the vehicle behind ACON's 2020 acquisition of Sola de Antequera (Alsur), and Spanish deal coverage places him among the in-house team on that transaction.

More recent public sources (his LinkedIn and the team page of wealth/advisory firm Avior Capital) indicate he subsequently left ACON, later appearing as a Director at Avior Capital and as a PE/VC Investment Director at PROEDUCA. This suggests the stub's "currently at ACON" framing may be outdated. A founder relying on the [hidden] contact should verify he is still at the firm before pitching.

*No first-person, publicly quoted personal thesis was found for Javier Martín de la Torre. The points below describe the ACON Southern Europe mandate under which he operated:*

• Stage/structure: Private-equity buyouts and growth capital — majority control and significant-minority stakes — not seed or angel investing.
• Check/scale: ACON's Madrid team has deployed €140M+ since 2018 across Southern Europe; individual equity checks are typically in the low-to-mid tens of millions of euros.
• Sectors: Consumer, industrials, and business services (ACON's core three verticals), with Spanish activity concentrated in food/consumer, professional cosmetics, industrial manufacturing, and education services.
• Company profile they say "yes" to: Established, often family-owned Spanish/Southern-European companies with strong brands and meaningful export/international growth potential (e.g., cosmetics or food producers already selling into dozens of countries), where ACON can back internationalization and buy-and-build.
• Partnering style: Frequently co-invests alongside local partners and founding families (e.g., with Torreal, with Quarza Inversiones, and retaining founding families as minority holders).
