Interests:
I am strongly interested in joining the network for sustainable financial markets because I fully share its principles. I would like to exchange ideas on financial markets reform with professionals thinking out-of-the-box. I also think that taking advantage of independent think tank among professionals who have lived and experimented in their daily professional activity the pros and cons of the practice as well as the gap between theory and daily practices is essential to improve the sustainability of the economics and financial markets. I am strongly convinced that governance at all financial institutions should be improved and a better alignment of interests of all the market participants within a long-run view is essential to recover from the present financial crisis and restore confidence in the financial markets.
