I am currently chief economist of Ostrum Asset Management. I began my career at Bred Banque Populaire in April 1988 as an economist. In 1994 I became Director of the economic research department of Bred Banque Populaire, then named Banque Populaire Asset Management. Later, I became Chief economist of Natexis Asset Management in 2003 and of Natixis Asset Management in 2006. In March 2018, Natixis AM became Ostrum AM.
