Hear from our people
❝ As a salesperson covering Hedge Funds in London, I could feel the acceleration towards fully automated processes. Consulting & Transformation was an opportunity to contribute in the adaptation of the Bank to our clients evolving needs. Being in touch with clients was the best training path towards my future life as a consultant. ❞
❝ I am driven by the constant need to understand the ins and outs of the world I live in. Moving from an engineer to a consultant role gave me access to the bigger picture. BNP Paribas has a leading role in the global banking ecosystem and I appreciate being at the reactor core. ❞
