Biography
[edit]After studying at HEC Paris, he became CFO of MyMajorCompany. With Tigrane Seydoux, a former HEC classmate whom he met again through Stéphane Courbit[2], he worked on a crepe chain project, before moving towards Italian restaurants, which they considered more universal.[3]
In 2015, Lugger and Seydoux created Big Mamma, a chain of Italian restaurants, with the help of several major French investors, including Stéphane Courbit, Xavier Niel, Frédéric Biousse, Elie Kouby, Sébastien Breteau, and Frédéric Jousset.[4]
In 2017, he and his partner were elected entrepreneur of the year by Gault et Millau.[5]
In 2021, with Tigrane Seydoux and Christine de Wendel, he founded the start-up Sunday (payment app) and raised $100 million.[6]
In July 2023, the group had 24 restaurants in five countries. 8 Lugger and Seydoux, along with seventeen historical investors, sold the majority of Big Mama's shares in 2023 to the English investment fund McWin, which became the majority shareholder; Lugger and Seydoux, who pocketed several million euros in the transaction, remained co-CEOs.[7]
