About Arnaud

With three years and eight months of experience in the financial sector, I undertake missions combining capital markets, risk management, and operational process optimization.

Graduated from the EM Normandie Grande École program and Audencia's Specialized Master's in Financial Strategies and Responsible Investments (SFIR), I combine solid technical expertise with a real understanding of strategic and operational challenges.

Technical Skills:

- Excel / VBA (automation, reporting, reconciliation)

- Python and SQL (databases, financial analysis)

- Financial Tools: Bloomberg, Refinitiv (Reuters), Summit Finastra

At HSBC, I contributed to several high-impact projects:

- Optimization of cash utilization in collaboration with the Fixed Income team and Relationship Managers of counterparties. I led a project to replace various currencies deposited as collateral with bonds, thereby reducing the opportunity cost on a total amount equivalent to 700 million USD.

- Automation of an accounting reconciliation initially performed at the end of the month. Thanks to a tool developed in VBA, the process is now completed in 15 minutes per day, compared to over 3 hours monthly previously, allowing for early detection of accounting discrepancies.

These projects have taught me to simplify processes, ensure operational reliability, and improve concrete results.
I am available in the Paris region for missions longer than six months.
