About Cyril Alemany
A perspective
built between
worlds.
Corporate and entrepreneurial.
European and Japanese.
Strategic and practical.
The person behind the platform
Seeing connections.
Creating possibilities.
Alemany Ventures brings together the work Cyril has found most meaningful: understanding what could come next, connecting the right people and helping build it.
Cyril is a strategy, innovation and corporate development leader with nearly 25 years of experience shaping growth, developing new businesses and connecting established companies with entrepreneurial opportunities.
His experience spans corporate innovation, venture development, acquisitions, strategic partnerships and international business development. It brings together the perspective of an established organisation and the imagination required to create something new.
Alemany Ventures is the independent expression of that experience: a platform for contributing as an advisor, venture architect, investment partner or long-term owner, wherever the fit is strongest.
