The founder

Marine Charbonnier

Marine has been working across investment banking and private equity since 2017 — first structuring and executing deals at Deutsche Bank, then assessing, negotiating, owning and selling them as an investor at Carlyle within their European Buyout fund.

Sunstone Advisory is built on her experience, and the conviction that the best transaction support comes from not only understanding how processes work, but also how investors really think.
