Investment Director, Cathay Innovation
Denis Barrier combines a PhD in solid-state physics and deep-tech research background with experience overseeing sovereign holdings at the French Treasury, giving him an unusual mix of scientific depth and strategic government perspective for a venture investor. He co-founded Cathay Innovation as a global platform that actively matches corporate LPs from France's CAC 40 with startups for co-investment and commercial partnerships, positioning venture capital as a tool to co-invent new models with incumbents rather than disrupt them.
