About

I was extremely lucky to get a fantastic experience within the Credit Agricole Group. In the investment bank (CACIB) first, in its capital markets where I was given access to all market segments successively: FX, Bonds, IRS, CDS and lastly Equity derivatives. After 20 years in capital markets, I could join the Group Asset manager (AMUNDI) that has lived a super fast development thanks to its organic growth as well as various acquisitions. That made another exciting 17 years where I took care of the liquid alternative activities then was given the responsibility of Amundi UK Ltd. Finally I moved to Paris to set up a brand new business line involved in Services and Solutions. Amundi is a firm, full of very talented colleagues whose corporate culture is unique and cultivated by a focused general management. As a key player in the AM industry, I would without any doubts advise to join Amundi as an employee or to consider it as a long term business partner.
