Telephone:

As a graduate in applied mathematics and certified tax expert, Céline began her career with Arthur Andersen & Co in 1997, specializing in financial risk management and the audit of (institutional) derivatives portfolios for clients based in Paris, Zurich, London and Geneva.

In 2000, she joined the bank Lombard Odier & Cie, where she initially spent three years as a hedge fund analyst (all strategies combined), before managing the bank's commodities funds. In 2004, after having successfully passed the 3 levels of the CFA exam, she earned the CFA charter, the most looked-after certification in the investment industry.

In 2007 she moved to London for six months where she joined Lord Jacob Rothschild's Family Office, dealing more specifically with the alternative portfolio (in particular the long / short equity funds) of the structure. On her return to Geneva in 2007, she took over the management of several key clients of Lombard Odier & Cie until her departure in October 2012, when she joined Pierre Richa & Partners SA, Société Fiduciaire.

Since then, she has specialized in tax law (including obtaining the federal tax expert diploma) and financial expertise, and has taken over the reins of the family business.

In addition to her investment in the company, Céline is the mother of two girls, a passionate sports endurance athlete and a confirmed marathon and ultra-marathon runner.
