Who am I? A multilingual, people-oriented, international finance professional. Born and raised in France, I have studied and worked in the USA and took various international assignments in emerging markets: Brazil, Russia and China. I speak fluent French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, conversational Russian and Chinese. To complete my intense math training in France and business education from New York University Stern School of Business, I have successfully passed the first level of the Chartered Alternative Investments Analyst Certification (CAIA), with a strong emphasis on Hege Funds, Private Equity, Venture Capital and Real Estate Investments. Currently I am a VP at ABN-AMRO Private Bank (Switzerland) and my role is precisely to network internally and externally, with a strong focus on developing our business and improving the teamwork and cross referrals between our Private Banking, Corporate and Investment Banking activities among many offices in Asia. Prior to this I was working for an extremely successful Chinese entrepreneur in his Private Equity/Venture Capital JVs and dealing with investors from a number of countries – one of our portfolio companies went public through a Reverse Merger. Previous experiences include Real Estate Investments for Russian investors, and helping a New York consultancy firm expand in South America by opening a small representative office in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
