• Head of Management Control Europe

  • 2010 - 2012

  BNP Paribas IM is one of the largest global players in Asset Management with over 500 Billion Euros in asset under management and over 4000 staffs. First task was to create two new departments of Management Control (France + Europe excl France) following a business wide re-organization triggered by the integration of Fortis Asset Management. Recruitment and training of new staff. Implementation of the new organization. I also improved the interface between accounting data and management control in order to streamline the edition of the monthly Management Accounts. One of the issues was the review of the mapping (due to a new chart of account) and of the management control input (off the books). Responsibilities covered • the production of the yearly budget & forecast for French entities (+supervision for European entities), • the production of monthly management accounts for French entities (+supervision for European entities), • the follow up of actuals against budget, identification of explanations and presentation to European CEOs during a monthly conference call.
