Global Top Round has today announced the hiring of Jacques Benchetrit as the company’s new Head of M&A.; Prior to joining Global Top Round, he served as M&A; Manager for Zordix, where he was responsible for sourcing and executing M&A; transactions for the firm where he tripled company EBITDA over 1.5 years. During this time, Jacques saw the need for advisory services in the video games industry that focused on deals less than $250 million, which is why he decided to join Global Top Round.
