Head of Strategy
Inès Beneyto Brunet is Head of Strategy at Lise, the French regulated stock exchange dedicated to SMEs and mid-sized companies. She contributes to the strategic and operational development of the first equity market infrastructure in Europe to combine the functions of a multilateral trading facility (MTF), a central securities depository (CSD) and instant settlement.
Before joining Lise, she was a senior blockchain and digital assets consultant at KPMG. There, she led tokenisation and stablecoin projects in the financial sector, carried out due diligence on Web3 startups and DeFi protocols, and contributed to regulatory policy work on digital assets in France and Europe. She holds an MSc in Finance from Université Paris Dauphine-PSL.
This background gives her combined technical and regulatory expertise at the heart of capital markets tokenisation and the transformation of financial products.
French households hold more than €6,590 billion in savings, much of it sitting in low-yield accounts and passbooks rather than invested in businesses. Faced with this, Europe has launched an unprecedented framework to channel this money towards financing companies.

France’s Finance Act of 19 February 2026 once again changed the IR-PME, the French income tax reduction for subscribing to the capital of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It creates a 40% rate for a new category of young innovative companies. It also removes the benefit for most innovation funds, the collective investment vehicles that invest in young companies.
SMEs occupy a central place in the French economy, one that is often underestimated. The leading employer across French regions and a driver of innovation in strategic sectors, they form an economic fabric whose health directly affects that of the country as a whole.
