Spice Capital Partners
Spice Capital Partners originated as the single-family office for a European food-industry family before expanding into a multi-family advisory platform. Maryline Kulawik serves as founder and managing partner; her earlier experience includes co-founding Elaia Partners and investment roles at Galileo Partners and BNP Paribas in TMT sectors. The firm allocates across private equity, real estate and capital markets. Private-equity activity targets minority or control stakes in Western European companies with enterprise values up to 50M€; confirmed positions include REP and Klac Industrie. Real-estate holdings cover residential and commercial assets in France and the UK, with one documented refinance loan of $34M extended in April 2023 to a Manhattan property controlled by Zaka Investments. Capital-markets exposure consists of corporate bonds, opportunistic equities and structured credit including CLOs. Team members listed on the firm site include Marc Charpentier, Peggy Bennett, Jean-Christophe Sampson and Guillaume Staal. Additional offices operate in Luxembourg. In December 2025 an Australian affiliate faced regulatory action concerning unlicensed financial services. The firm also maintains a relationship with HEC Foundation through Kulawik’s committee role. A structural distinction lies in the firm’s hybrid lineage: it retains direct operating-company oversight inherited from its original food-industry mandate while offering multi-family access to the same deal flow and co-investment network.
