Biographie

  • Europe

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. I am graduated from the University of Paris I, worked as a Professor at the University of Evry from 2003 to 2004 and I am currently Lecturer at Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris Saclay. I’m very active on social networks and have been in the Top 25 LinkedIn influencers for France in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
