Managing Partner and Chairman of the Board of ODDO BHF Group
“We intentionally wanted an onshore solution for our new service center to meet our language requirements and foster better collaboration with our headquarters. After careful analysis, we decided on the Saarbrücken location in the heart of Saarland. Saarbrücken is an excellent fit for our group and perfectly underlines our strategic positioning and commitment as a Franco-German financial group. Saarbrücken is centrally located between our main sites in Paris and Frankfurt am Main and can be easily reached from there by ICE train in around two hours. In addition, Saarbrücken as a university city, but also the entire region, offers us a large number of qualified junior staff and experienced employees from the German-French language area.
The start has been very successful, also thanks to the straightforward support from gwSaar Saarland Economic Promotion Corporation.”
