Ostrum AM also aims to strengthen its role as a committed player in the Paris and European financial markets.
Olivier Houix, Chief Executive Officer of Ostrum AM, said: "Asset management is at the forefront of environmental, social, and technological transformations that both institutional clients and issuers face, in their investment strategy and development financing respectively. With her expertise in sustainability, responsible investment, and ESG issues, Nathalie will establish Ostrum AM as ‘THE committed partner for transitions’ for all its stakeholders, while positioning her team as a catalyst for the ESG and CSR strategy among the company's employees.”
