Olivier Bramaud Grattau came to investing at Meridiam after working in the French transport ministry, running the Port of Gennevilliers, and leading commercial work at Bouygues Travaux Publics, giving him deep hands-on experience in ports, airports, roads, solar power, and power interconnection, backed by a strong math and engineering background from École Polytechnique, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, and École des Ponts. He has repeatedly taken on complex projects like the Calais port concession, where he helped structure a 40-year project bond by separating traffic risk from construction risk, and he continues to sit on boards for assets like NeuConnect, reflecting a focus on large, complicated infrastructure projects that require careful financial structuring and long-term public cooperation.

Notable Investments
Meridiam stands out as an engineering-led investment firm that builds infrastructure from the ground up rather than just buying finished projects, and it bakes its social and environmental mission directly into its legal structure by tying pay for both its investment teams and portfolio companies to measurable impact goals. In Africa, it acts as a hands-on project developer with large local teams based in Dakar and Addis Ababa, focuses heavily on climate adaptation work like protecting Nouakchott's coastline, trains government workers through its Africa Infrastructure Fellowship Program, and only takes on projects it sees as truly essential and a good fit for the communities they serve.
