/ Cécile Sourbes

Consultant

Cécile Sourbes began her career as a financial journalist in London. After arriving in the British capital in 2006, she earned her stripes notably by working alongside the Financial Times Group. Covering in turn the various financial sectors, Cécile specialized in the media coverage of European and global financial regulations, interviewing numerous presidents of regulatory bodies (such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the European Commission, the CFTC and the SEC) as well as governors of the central banks. It is through contact with these market players but also with CEOs of banks, pension funds, asset management companies and their communication teams that Cécile became interested in communication and marketing. In 2017 she trained with the Chartered Institute of Marketing, the British professional body, to further her knowledge in the field. Her appetite for financial, media and digital topics as well as her fluency in French and English then led her to work on content management and strategy for the web, both for multinationals and SMEs in the UK and France.
