Data-driven, I rely on facts and logic above all. So when I started working in the Banking industry, I quickly realized that something was wrong. At the time, I was in charge of implementing climate-positive investment strategies (ESG). I found that the ambitions of the banks did not match the climate emergency (at all). So I decided to change direction and devote my energy to changing Finance (for good!). If the banking industry is now leading us in the wrong direction, I am convinced that it is the best lever we have, to develop an economy that actually respects the Planet. In March 2020, I co-founded Helios with a few pioneers, with the ambition of building the leading sustainable bank in Europe - 100% dedicated to financing the ecological transition. We direct our customers' savings towards investment projects that contribute to the fight against climate change. We have already taken out 150 million euros from traditional banks thanks to the thousands of users, who have already chosen to join the movement! 👉 helios.do
