Carmignac, the French asset management firm known for its strategic investment approach, has recently added six new members to its Board of Directors as part of an effort to strengthen its governance and oversight capabilities.
Paolo Federici, a former senior executive at UBS, is among the new appointees. Federici brings extensive experience from his career in wealth management, including roles at UBS and Fidelity International. His diverse experience in managing wealth across different regions is expected to provide valuable insights to Carmignac's strategic direction.
Alexander Leisten, who has a strong background in asset management and has held leadership roles at Fidelity International, Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management, and Sal. Oppenheim jr. & Cie, is also a new board member.
Habib Achkar, with over 30 years of experience at Morgan Stanley, will also join the board. Achkar's advisory role to top executives at global financial institutions aligns well with Carmignac's focus on delivering tailored investment solutions.
Pascale Guillier, with a background in law and journalism, has been appointed to the board. Guillier's legal expertise will be beneficial in navigating the complex regulatory landscape of asset management.
Rose Ouahba and Christophe Peronin, both Managing Directors at Carmignac, are also part of the new board. Ouahba's experience in fund management and marketing strategies and Peronin's operational expertise will support the firm's growth and efficiency.
The expansion of Carmignac's Board of Directors reflects the firm's commitment to enhancing its governance structure and strategic oversight. With a blend of internal and external candidates, the new board members bring a diverse range of skills and experiences that align with the firm's vision for future growth.
Under the leadership of founder Edouard Carmignac, the firm is poised to leverage this wealth of knowledge to navigate the evolving landscape of asset management. The integration of these seasoned professionals into the board is a strategic move aimed at reinforcing Carmignac's position as a leading player in the asset management industry.
