As bankers we're used to coming to these events and hearing a certain type of speaker, but these times call for something different, a time for solidarity, goodwill and empathy, explains François Wohrer, Group Head of Investment Banking at Degroof Petercam, as he introduced Martin Hirsch as keynote speaker at the IMAP pre-conference symposium event at Bridge - Pont Alexandre III on Thursday evening.
Martin Hirsch is currently Chairman of the Institut de l'Engagement and CEO of the Greater Paris University Hospitals (AP-HP), the largest European hospital group, and spoke about his work on social business and poverty reduction. Thank you Martin, for sharing your inspiring and uplifting work with the homeless, projects for post-prison integration and work in the 39 hospitals around Paris after the Covid outbreak.
IMAP’s partner in France & Belgium, Degroof Petercam, are hosting the IMAP Spring conference this weekend, reuniting over 130 global M&A dealmakers from Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.
