An international career
As a French-Canadian, I have lived and worked in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France before settling in Urrugne, in the Basque Country, where I founded Opeongo Finance.
Adapting to new countries and navigating different regulatory environments are not just part of my expertise, they are part of my own journey.
Today, I support a wide range of clients: French residents, European families living in France, expatriates, and non-residents...
Each project is different and requires a clear understanding before it can be properly structured.
Working alongside you to bring your project to life
The French banking system can feel rigid and complex. I guide you through it and make it work for your situation.
I develop a financing strategy tailored to your situation, guided by three core commitments:
- Clarity : I explain each step, each option, and their implications so you can make informed decisions.
- Advice : I understand your objectives and build a solution that truly fits your situation.
- Confidence: I take a rigorous approach and present well-structured applications to secure the best possible conditions.
A long-term approach
When I founded Opeongo Finance, I chose to commit to the 1% for the Planet initiative, dedicating 1% of revenue to environmental causes.
Our first certification will take place at the end of our first year in the program, in 2026. This reflects a broader commitment: building a business that is responsible, sustainable, and built for the long-term.
