Meriem Benhassine Fuertes

Investment Vice President of the Clean Hydrogen Equipment Fund

"Before joining Hy24, I spent 5 years at Santander Corporate and Investment Banking, notably leading hydrogen activities within the Clean Tech team since 2021. In this role, I contributed to strengthening the bank's capabilities in advising and financing green hydrogen projects, hydrogen equipment manufacturers' distribution networks, and hydrogen mobility companies. I worked on over 10 M&A transactions, IPOs, and debt operations in the sector, including structuring Plug's European joint ventures with Groupe Renault (France) and Acciona (Spain), financing Home Power Solutions' venture debt (Germany), and Stellantis' minority investment in Symbio (France).

Today, I am delighted to be part of Hy24's team to support the new investment initiative dedicated to scaling up decarbonized hydrogen equipment and technologies!"
