Placing environmental and social considerations at the heart of its mission as an asset manager, Ostrum AM has appointed Maud Pierre-Minuit as Head of Sustainable Transitions. She will be responsible for coordinating the work of the team's eight experts and strategists to ensure the roll-out of its ESG strategy, while developing new thematic ranges in coordination with the Investment Management teams. She will also support institutional clients in taking climate and biodiversity issues into account, thereby affirming Ostrum AM's role as a committed partner within the European financial market.
Olivier Houix, Chief Executive Officer of Ostrum AM, declares: "Asset management is at the forefront of the environmental and social transformations our clients are facing. With her experience in multi-asset class management and her in-depth knowledge of sustainability issues, Maud will be a valuable asset in confirming Ostrum AM's position as a committed partner in the transition process and further strengthening our responsible investment strategy."
Maud Pierre-Minuit has over 20 years of experience in asset management for French and European clients. She spent a significant portion of her career at Groupama AM, where she served as fund manager and then head of fixed income and currency management. During this period, she developed recognised expertise in inflation-linked bonds and aggregate Euro and global strategies. In 2017, she joined La Française AM, consolidating her technical expertise in total return and multi-asset class management before moving into sustainability consulting. In 2023, she joined the consulting firm I Care by BearingPoint as Senior Manager for the Sustainable Finance division. In this role, she supported numerous financial institutions in addressing their needs related to the dual materiality of environmental impacts on their business models, through assignments at several levels: the entity (and its ambition), the product (and its degree of sustainability), and the asset (and impact measurement).
Maud Pierre-Minuit holds a postgraduate degree in Financial Strategies and Collective Savings from the University of Poitiers and further strengthened her profile as an expert by obtaining the EFFAS (CESGA) certification as an extra-financial analyst in 2023.
