In 1985, he played the role of a teenager in the short film “Charly” directed by Florence Strauss, alongside Jacques Penot and Kristin Scott Thomas.[2] After completing high school at Lycée Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague in Paris, he studied Mathematics and graduated from HEC Paris in 1993.[1][3]

Artistic career[edit]

Alongside his career in Finance, he has also pursued a career as a writer. In 2000, he published his first novel, “Les Cimes ne s'embrassent pas”, set in the Alps at the end of the Great Depression.[10] In 2004, he won a literary competition that resulted in the publication of two short stories written under the pseudonym John Murche: the book, entitled “Matière grise”, brings together the works of several writers.[11] After a break of a few years, he published in 2013 a collection of 7 short stories entitled “Des Nouvelles de John Murche”, including his two texts published in 2004, then he gradually specialized in crime fiction.[12][13] “Barbacane” (2014) is a thriller set in southwest France.[14] This was followed by “Water Futures: L'eau n'a pas d'odeur” (2016), “S.N.O.W.” (2018) and “Fatales Négligences” (2020), crime novels set in the world of finance and business.[15][16] In 2022, he published “Rodrigo”, set in 1980s France, focusing on a case of insider trading involving the CEO of a pharmaceutical company.[17] This last novel was translated and published in English in 2022 under the name “Back to Buenos Aires”.

He also published a satirical novel in 2016, “Mon fils est de droite, mais en général les choses s'arrangent” (meaning “My son is right-wing, but things usually work out for the best”).[18]

Aside from literature, he is also involved in other artistic activities, in particular theater, music, song-writing, singing and painting.[19] He began playing the piano at the age of 31 and wrote several songs, some of which he composed with Emmanuel Cuche.[20] In 2022, he performed his song “Santa Fe” in French and English,[21] then performed it live in Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise in 2023, accompanied by cellist Gautier Capuçon.[20] Additionally, he frequently performed in theatrical plays together with his wife, Marina.[20]
