While finishing his second Master (Applied Economics) Philippe solved the "fallacy of large numbers puzzle", formulated by P.A. Samuelson 38 years earlier. In this PhD he created the "Maslowian Portfolio Theory" and so successfully challenged the assumptions of the Nobel Prize winning "Mean Variance Theory" of H. Markovitz that dominated our thinking about suitability of investments for more than 60 years.
He is an active executive and has more than two decades experience in banking and asset management, fulfilled many C-level functions and is now a director at the service centre of HSBC in Europe where he oversees different activities related to risk management (such as model governance, model review, regulatory compliance). He specializes in teamwork, leadership, big data, analytics, risk management and investment advice.
