Résumé
Having spent over 10 years in the financial services sector as CEO and COO, I have developed a successfully track record in leading international teams which delivered outperforming growth and implemented digital transformation.
This is the result of a high ability to design a strategic vision in a collaborative way and a long experience in convincing multi-country and multidisciplinary teams about the strategy and in mobilising their energies to execute it and deliver. I did it by investing in my teams and by transforming tools and organisations to launch new business lines and new products, by conducting M&A operations and setting up JV in several countries and, when necessary, by restructuring loss making businesses.
I held board member positions in financial services companies in several countries in Europe, in the US, in Israel and in Morocco.
Prior to this, I worked 6 years at the Treasury in the French Ministry of Finances where I acted as the shareholder for the steering of the stated-owned companies in the energy sector (EDF, GDF, Areva/Orano, etc) and the telecom sector (France Télécom)
