La mienne a commencé hier par une séance du Comité de Contrôle de la BCGE - Banque Cantonale de Genève, s’est enchaînée ensuite avec un Comité de la Maison de la Femme - Fondation Madeleine Moret à Lausanne où je suis trésorière bénévole, puis last but not least un rendez-vous à Vevey dans un lieu magnifique et surtout avec une énergie et un alignement plus que positifs.
Donc je pose la question : Qui a dit que les questions financières étaient ennuyeuses ?
Since when has our planet relied on Finance to be saved?
In Geneva over the past few days, Building Bridges and, even closer to home, "Les essentiels de la Finance" organized by BCGE - Banque Cantonale de Genève have been an opportunity to hear about the role of finance in this context of global warming, the famous sustainable finance.
Concretely for our SMEs and at our level, what exactly are we talking about?

My customer assignments are always comprehensive, although some are sometimes more "efficient" because of the stakes involved.
This was the case for an SME that suffered a violent cyber attack within 24 hours. I was already supporting this SME, which enabled me to react very quickly and set up an agile unblocking of the situation.

This is one of the reasons why I decided to follow the university diploma in Business and Financial Asset Valuation directed by the two eminent professors Philippe Raimbourg and Eric Lamarque.
This 180-hour training course was given by research professors and, above all, by professionals from the French Society of Valuators and from major Parisian firms.
This training allowed me to acquire concepts, financial techniques and valuation methods that will allow me to better respond to the challenges of the business world and my clients.
I stepped out of my comfort zone by taking very high level courses, but I didn't give up. Receiving my diploma from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne is surely one of my fondest memories!
