About Us

With complimentary skill sets, a shared passion for entrepreneurship and common work ethics and core values, SFM advisory is a little like a Swiss Army knife. And when we face an industry, a challenge or a market we do not have valuable experience in, we can count on a broad global network of likeminded professionals.

Fundraising
& Marketing

Sandrine Steiner

I help founders, entrepreneurs and investors connect and create meaningful value together.

I’ve spent the last decade connecting the dots between exceptional people, innovative ideas and sustainable capital. From establishing the first boarding school in the GCC and scale to South East Asia within a 3 year period to bringing to life a tribute to Mario Testino bridging the art world with new markets, I worked across several industries, from education to semiconductors, in Europe, USA and the Middle-East.

Most recently, I’ve raised equity for Entrepreneurs through Acquisition (Search Funds) in Europe and North America filling equity gaps and search captables. My network of family offices, UHNWI and specialised funds is global and I work with founders and non-profit who wish to take their company or charity to new heights.

I speak German, English, French and Spanish.

Leadership
& human capital

Marine Hamou​

I help CEOs, owners and founders get clarity on where they want to go, who they need on their teams to get there, and ensure they are set up for success from a people and process perspective to achieve their goals.

Bulk of my industry experience is in services where human capital is often the “product”. I’ve opened new markets for a public listed company and designed winning teams at an independent digital agency leveraging the power of digital nomads and remote teams before zoom was a way of life. I worked for start-ups, owner/founder operated SMB/SME and public listed companies, in Europe, Asia and the middle East.

Most recently I’ve interviewed 600 candidates and selected more than 50 CEOs through acquisition in Europe and North America as part of an innovative Private Equity firm based on Search Funds. Targeting succession issues in SME, I’ve focused my practice in the last 3 years on which skill set, leadership qualities and personal drivers and derailers make a great new generation of owners and leaders across a wide range of industries, sectors and geographies.

I speak French, German and English.

Finance & Operations

Frederik Pepping

An engineer by trade, I like to solve problems.

Streamline processes on a factory floor or go through 3 years of financial backlog, I help owners and founders cut through the noise so they can focus on strategy and human capital.

Combining the discipline and process design I’ve acquired in large corporates with an SME mindset, my area of expertise revolves around developing and executing advanced operational strategies and streamlining financial processes. Leveraging my deep expertise in data analysis, I provide insightful solutions that guide businesses toward success.

I work in English, French, German, Dutch and Spanish
