The financing environment has changed dramatically in the recent months and we are thrilled to join forces with Macquarie who have consistently demonstrated innovation, reactivity and flexibility on those matters," says Mathieu Chabran (pictured), co-founder of Tikehau and chief investment officer at Tikehau Investment Management.
