Message from the CEO
After 23 years working for major financial groups, driving their digital and analytical transformation, I chose the entrepreneurial route by joining Harvest. For over 35 years, Harvest has been reinventing the work of wealth management professionals. It has simplified the complexities while maintaining cutting-edge legal and fiscal expertise, digitalised business processes to make them faster and more efficient while continuing to meet regulatory requirements, and trained professionals to prepare them for the countless changes that have occurred in our professions.
Harvest is the story of a fine French FinTech, founded by two exceptional individuals: Brice Pineau and Jean-Michel Dupiot. Its employees are passionate about what they do and the clients they serve, showing an extraordinary dedication to their work. This hugely talented team is our greatest asset. In 2020, we were recognised as a Great Place to Work.
The wealth management ecosystem is vast, dense, and subject to more regulation every year. It requires transparency and security. With its 500 wealth management specialists, Harvest is a key player in helping you to forge ahead without risk, safe in the knowledge that your tools and calculations will always take into account the latest laws, and that our specialists will always be on hand to support you.
Building on this wealth of experience and these solid foundations, Harvest is now embarking on a new chapter, even more technical and digital than ever before. We are going to accelerate our development, in France and internationally, by diversifying our products, migrating our solutions to API-based workflows, and developing our training offer to provide an even more complete range of cutting-edge services for our clients.
That will be my mission each day: to serve our clients, to serve our staff, and to serve Harvest.
