DAVID DELAGE

Summary

I have mainly (~5 years) experiences in the consulting industry and project management. From them, I learned that challenges are opportunities: to contribute positively to the client, firm and to grow personally. I appreciate to be a business partner.

To contribute to the next assignments' successes, I will harness my skills.
- At Deloitte, I reviewed the accounting information quality for the benefits of wide range of stakeholders.
- At Aurignac Finance, I performed strategic and financial analyses to contribute to the client's business portfolio management.
- At Accenture, I contributed to modelling the project's planning and scheduling to decrease the non-completion risks.
- At Atoz, I created reportings/dashboards to manage investment risks on behalf of mainly asset managers.
- As an investor, I studied financial planning and investment.
- At Ricoh, I contributed to the Division's valuation maximisation.
- At EDHEC Alumni, I learned about relationship development and commercial strategy.

In my next role, I will tape into those experiences to deliver technically and grow alongside my colleagues to contribute to the firm's success.
