X 50 is the increase in AuM during my years at Financière de l'Echiquier, a Paris based fund management company.

I decided to leave this great company to launch my own projects !

Graduated from EDHEC Business school in 1991, and, after Military Service as Navy Officer, spent 8 years in banking. Joined Financière de l'Echiquier in 2001, the company was then a family run business managing below 200 million USD. I was promoted to CEO in 2006. I brougth the company to 10 billion USD in Aum, making it one of Paris key independant fund managers.

Projects and achievements:

Highly active in brand building, online and social media initiatives. Obsessed with client experience: built Echiquier Academy, a training program aimed at clients and Université d'été Financière de l'Echiquier, a now "must attend" institutional gathering. Developped product range and increased International Business up to 2.5 Billion USD in AuM in Europe, USA and Canada. Won mandate with NBIM, Norway's SWF.

Ranked #8 at the Great Place to Work competition. Launched an exchange program with US based Wasatch advisors. Active promoter of training and self improvement. Loved the people I worked with, they truly deserve the results we share ! Had the idea of a corporate foundation with innovative fund raising through shared fees. Was passionate in promoting ESG (won prestigious mandate from French leading institution FRR).
