TrueNoord has appointed Julien Millet to the post of chief financial officer (CFO).
Originally acting as interim CFO, Millet took up this new position earlier in the year, however, he has worked closely with the company since 2016 from an investor and board perspective in his previous role at Bregal Freshstream, one of TrueNoord’s cornerstone investors.
Anne-Bart Tieleman, CEO at TrueNoord, says that Millet’s previous roles in consulting with Bain & Company, alongside his private equity/finance expertise with Doughty Hanson & Co and Bregal Freshstream, bring an analytical and strategic focus that adds an extra dimension to his strong capabilities.
She said: “Julien was not only the logical choice due to his pertinent recent experience and excellent relationships with the management team, but also I believe he brings a commercial acuity and understanding of deal dynamics that will strengthen TrueNoord as our fleet portfolio and global footprint grows. He has demonstrated the ability to embrace the bigger global picture whilst understanding the investment needs of a growing business.”
Prior to joining TrueNoord, Millet served as director at Bregal Freshstream for four years where he was involved in various transactions in the Netherlands, France, and UK., and he was also a board member of TrueNoord and Taziker.
He previously worked as a senior investment professional at Doughty Hanson for four years where he co-ordinated a range of transactions across Europe.
Prior to that, he was a consultant at Bain & Company in Paris.
