Bio Summary

Are you looking for an experienced project manager who is bilingual in French and English for one of your clients (ideally based in French-speaking Switzerland), who also has significant banking experience? I think that my profile might interest you.

Through my career working at various major banks, I have been able to:

o Demonstrate my functional expertise in banking. In addition to experiences as an Analyst and Financial Auditor, I also offered organisational advice in relation to the macro-processes and macro-procedures of the accounting tool at Société Générale. I am very experienced in reporting and banking regulations, risk management, securitised products and mortgages and revolving credit.

o Tackle various challenges when confronted with strategic and/or complex problems. Currently working at the BNP-Paribas group, I have not only improved several strategic processes and designed a decision aid tool, but I also successfully led the migration of EMEA zone entities to IFRS 9 Group Management Tools.

o Offer my interpersonal skills and natural leadership to interact with and supervise multi-disciplinary teams. I also like to provide concrete solutions, sharing my knowledge and bringing internal/external employees together.

Able to offer ideas, proactive and meticulous, I can combine theory and practice to successfully fulfil my responsibilities and achieve targets. Willing to live in Switzerland and tackle a new professional challenge, I am available to discuss my application in more detail.

Yours sincerely,
