Victor Lugger, born in 1984 in Strasbourg, is a French businessman. He is the co-founder of the company Big Mamma.[1]
Biography
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 crêpe 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. Lugger and Seydoux, along with seventeen historical investors, sold the majority of Big Mamma'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]
