Interim Management in the Banking, Finance, Investment Funds, Insurance Sectors

MANAGERIM provides you with interim managers who are experts in the banking, finance, investment funds, insurance sectors to help you meet your transformation challenges

The expansion of the financial sector has led to the development of complex channels of intermediation and interrelations between banks, insurers and investment funds.

The convergence of banking and insurance continues: banks are selling car, home and complementary health insurance products in order to generate additional recurring revenues and optimize their margins.

For all players, new challenges are emerging:

• Innovation and repositioning in a value-based customer relationship by offloading many administrative tasks and automating many time-consuming and low value-added processes
• Successful development of purely digital models: digital is at the heart of growth. One in two customers is ready to switch to a 100% digital banking relationship
• The appropriation of the Cloud and its contributions to strengthen security systems and enhance the value of data by exploiting it in real time and making better use of Artificial Intelligence
• The ability to take advantage of the Fintech and Insurtech ecosystem
• The implementation of a CSR strategy: asset portfolio management and financing must take CSR criteria into account
• The ability to attract and retain talent

Finance and investment funds are experiencing a slowdown in their growth with rising interest rates, continued inflation in the United States and Europe, economic uncertainties related to the ongoing war in Ukraine, raw material shortages and supply difficulties...

In all these sectors, our interim managers help companies to accelerate their transformation and face many challenges:

• Expand / develop their client portfolio
• Innovate and offer new services to their clients
• Strengthen and personalize the customer relationship
• Stand out through the integration of new technologies
• Transform their organization to be more agile and flexible
