Professional Career:

After 6 years spent in various prestigious banking institutes, I joined the investment banking subsidiary of Crédit Lyonnais to be appointed head of corporate services. I developed and implemented a development strategy that enabled this division to represent 40% of the bank’s income. My career was boosted by it and I was appointed director and member of the executive committee at the age of 34. A record for Luxembourg.

To maintain our competitiveness in this field of activity, I then proposed an action plan containing my vision of the future and the changes necessary for our sustainability. Unfortunately, it was refused by the shareholder for vague reasons of non-competition with other entities of the same group. I, therefore, decided to propose this action plan to another group which accepted it and I became CEO of a bank in Luxembourg at 37 and a half, where I accomplished another record. This action plan worked perfectly from 2000 to 2004, a period during which, according to an independent and serious evaluation, the bank’s valuation had increased substantially by more than 8 digits.

Mid of 2004, I felt strong enough to take an ultimate challenge: creation of my own Group. That’s how FAST Group is born in 2004. After less than 2 years of activity FAST managed to reach assets under management of more than 10 digits.

Over these few decades of hard work, I’ve always applied the same rules which can be sum up as follow:

” estimate the challenge, analyze the facts, find the appropriate strategy and act”

With all of this said, my career can be divided into three parts:

1. Building Experiences 1983-1987

Credit & Trust Company Luxembourg: 2 years, Corporate Administrator.
